docs: add basic info for how to install the statically linked client

Browse Source 
To have something in the docs.

In the long run we want a somewhat fancy and safe mechanism to host
these builds directly on the CDN and implement querying that for
updates, verified with a backed in public key, but for starters this
very basic docs has to suffice.

We could also describe how to extract the client from the .deb through
`ar` or `dpkg -x`, but that feels a bit to hacky for the docs, maybe
better explained on-demand in the forum or the like.

Install Statically Linked Proxmox Backup Client
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Proxmox provides a statically linked build of the Proxmox backup client that
should run on any modern x86-64 Linux system.
It is currently available as a Debian package. After configuring the
:ref:`package_repositories_client_only_apt`, you need to run:
.. code-block:: console
# apt update
# apt install proxmox-backup-client-static
This package conflicts with the `proxmox-backup-client` package, as both
provide the client as an executable in the `/usr/bin/proxmox-backup-client`
path.
You can copy this executable to other, e.g. non-Debian based Linux systems.
For details on using the Proxmox Backup Client, see :ref:`client_usage`.
