How to add extra command line parameters to EXISTING backup #811

When I think about the issue it can actually be quite important. Imagine you have encrypted volume, and you mount it decrypted only when user is present. But if no -x parameter is present, that decrypted volume is backed up. Then when the intruder gets access to Vorta GUI, it can mount decrypted backup, because the password for borg decryption key is stored in Vorta settings. I see this as security problem. I recommend that for automated backup the password is used automatically, but for restore, extract and mounting, the password would always have to be entered manually. Plus that optional -x parameter of course. Until that happens, I have to unistall Vorta and use command line. |

-x is used for create only, so this would be more like #274. |

Recently needed to add --remote-path=borg1 to the Borg args for existing Rsync.net repo's that I had - was surprised to see basic editting of this nature was missing, only solution was to delete profile, unlink repo, then new profile, add existing repo and then put the arg into the Borg args field. Very clunky. Should be able to edit the Borg args field (the Edit Profile name dialogue could be extended to allowing editting of the Borg args and maybe other items. |

Describe the bug
There is no possibility to add command line parameters to borg backup when the repository is already created. I want to limit backup to one filesystem (exclude mount points) by -x, but it is nowhere to add.
When trying to add the command to newly linked repository, there is error in log:
borg: error: unrecognized arguments: -x
