docs: update install docs, nothing bundled anymore! fixes #8342.

borg 1.2.x used to bundle some source code for lz4, zstd and xxhash,
but borg 1.4.x got rid of that - all that is meanwhile available as
a library in all OSes we support.

also, the python package pkgconfig does not need to be "preinstalled"
anymore, because our pyproject.toml cares for that. otoh, the cli tool
pkg-config must be preinstalled so that libs and headers can be found
automagically.

Also be a bit more clear about the FUSE stuff.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
 To install Borg from a source package (including pip), you have to install the
-following dependencies first:
-
-* `Python 3`_ >= 3.9.0, plus development headers.
-* OpenSSL_ >= 1.0.0, plus development headers.
-* libacl_ (which depends on libattr_), both plus development headers.
-* We have bundled code of the following packages, but borg by default (see
-  setup.py if you want to change that) prefers a shared library if it can
-  be found on the system (lib + dev headers) at build time:
-
-  - liblz4_ >= 1.7.0 (r129)
-  - libzstd_ >= 1.3.0
-  - libxxhash >= 0.8.1 (0.8.0 might work also)
-* pkg-config (cli tool) and pkgconfig python package (borg uses these to
-  discover header and library location - if it can't import pkgconfig and
-  is not pointed to header/library locations via env vars [see setup.py],
-  it will fall back to using the bundled code, see above).
-  **These must be present before invoking setup.py!**
-* some other Python dependencies, pip will automatically install them for you.
-* optionally, if you wish to mount an archive as a FUSE filesystem, you need
+following dependencies first. For the libraries you will also need their
+development header files (sometimes in a separate `-dev` or `-devel` package).
+
+* `Python 3`_ >= 3.9.0
+* OpenSSL_ >= 1.0.0
+* libacl_ (which depends on libattr_)
+* libxxhash_ >= 0.8.1
+* liblz4_ >= 1.7.0 (r129)
+* libzstd_ >= 1.3.0
+* pkg-config (cli tool) - Borg uses this to discover header and library
+  locations automatically. Alternatively, you can also point to them via some
+  environment variables, see setup.py.
+* Some other Python dependencies, pip will automatically install them for you.
+* Optionally, if you wish to mount an archive as a FUSE filesystem, you need
   a FUSE implementation for Python:
 
-  - Either pyfuse3_ (preferably, newer and maintained) or llfuse_ (older,
-    unmaintained now). See also the BORG_FUSE_IMPL env variable.
-  - See pyproject.toml about the version requirements.
+  - pyfuse3_ >= 3.1.1 (for fuse 3, use `pip install borgbackup[pyfuse3]`), or
+  - llfuse_ >= 1.3.8 (for fuse 2, use `pip install borgbackup[llfuse]`).
+  - Additionally, your OS will need to have FUSE support installed
+    (e.g. a package `fuse` for fuse 2 or a package `fuse3` for fuse 3 support).
 
 If you have troubles finding the right package names, have a look at the
 distribution specific sections below or the Vagrantfile in the git repository,
 which contains installation scripts for a number of operating systems.
 
 In the following, the steps needed to install the dependencies are listed for a
 selection of platforms. If your distribution is not covered by these
-instructions, try to use your package manager to install the dependencies.  On
