borg: Support importing files that are hard linked in the borg backup
Note that a key with no size field that is hard linked will
result in listImportableContents reporting a file size of 0,
rather than the actual size of the file. One result is that
the progress meter when getting the file will seem to get stuck
at 100%. Another is that the remote's preferred content expression,
if it tries to match against file size, will treat it as an empty file.
I don't see a way to improve the latter behavior, and the former behavior
is a minor enough problem.

### Please describe the problem.
borg special remote is apparently ignoring WORM and URL key content (probably all content without hashes?)
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
archive a repo containing WORM or URL keys with borg and sync it with git annex like in the example https://git-annex.branchable.com/special_remotes/borg/
doing `git annex list --not -i borg` later shows all WORM and URL keys not recognized being in borg
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
git-annex version: 8.20210310
on NixOS 20.09
### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
Thank you for including borg, and for fixing gcrypt remotes! This is great!
