fix(#642): Disable Backup on iOS

Martin Hoeher requested to merge 642-exclude-libraries-from-backup-on-ios into development

One of the promises the app makes: No data ever leaves the device you work on (except you explicitly set up e.g. a library which is synchronized via one of the supported storage services). This is true on all platforms, but one: on iOS, your libraries actually made it into the iCloud backup (if you had it set up) 😱

This is not only a problem of control of your data - it also can create some friction when e.g. you move to a new device. It seems nice that your libraries appear to be back automagically, but because of the timestamps of the local files are changes, the new device will basically re-upload the entire library in case it is also synced via a storage server. Long story short: This is fixed now!

Closes #642 (closed)
