docs: update rclone about docs
Create a full loop of documentation for rclone about, backends overview
and individual backend pages.

Discussion:
https://github.com/rclone/rclone/pull/4774 relates

Previously pull was requested, in part, under ref
https://github.com/rclone/rclone/pull/4801

Notes:
Introduce a tentative draft see-link format the end of sections to try
rather than lots of in-para links.

Update about.go incl link to list of backends not supporting about.

In list of backends not supporting about, include link to about command
reference.

I appreciate there may be decisions to make going forward about whether
command links should be code formatted, and using proper pretty url
links, but I have fudged that for now.

Update backend pages that do not support about with wording used
previously for ftp - it is in passive voice but I can live with it. (my
own wording and fault). The note is applied to a limitations section. If
one does not already exist it is created (even if there are other
limitations with their own sections)

{{< icon "fas fa-dove" >}} SugarSync
-----------------------------------------
[SugarSync](https://sugarsync.com) is a cloud service that enables
active synchronization of files across computers and other devices for
file backup, access, syncing, and sharing.
The initial setup for SugarSync involves getting a token from SugarSync which you
can do with rclone. `rclone config` walks you through it.
Here is an example of how to make a remote called `remote`. First run:
rclone config
This will guide you through an interactive setup process:
```
No remotes found - make a new one
n) New remote
s) Set configuration password
q) Quit config
n/s/q> n
name> remote
Type of storage to configure.
Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
Choose a number from below, or type in your own value
[snip]
XX / Sugarsync
\ "sugarsync"
[snip]
Storage> sugarsync
** See help for sugarsync backend at: https://rclone.org/sugarsync/ **
Sugarsync App ID.
Leave blank to use rclone's.
Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
app_id>
Sugarsync Access Key ID.
Leave blank to use rclone's.
Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
access_key_id>
Sugarsync Private Access Key
Leave blank to use rclone's.
Enter a string value. Press Enter for the default ("").
private_access_key>
Permanently delete files if true
otherwise put them in the deleted files.
Enter a boolean value (true or false). Press Enter for the default ("false").
hard_delete>
Edit advanced config? (y/n)
y) Yes
n) No (default)
y/n> n
Remote config
Username (email address)> nick@craig-wood.com
Your Sugarsync password is only required during setup and will not be stored.
password:
--------------------
[remote]
type = sugarsync
refresh_token = https://api.sugarsync.com/app-authorization/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
--------------------
y) Yes this is OK (default)
e) Edit this remote
d) Delete this remote
y/e/d> y
```
Note that the config asks for your email and password but doesn't
store them, it only uses them to get the initial token.
Once configured you can then use `rclone` like this,
List directories (sync folders) in top level of your SugarSync
rclone lsd remote:
List all the files in your SugarSync folder "Test"
rclone ls remote:Test
To copy a local directory to an SugarSync folder called backup
rclone copy /home/source remote:backup
Paths are specified as `remote:path`
Paths may be as deep as required, e.g. `remote:directory/subdirectory`.
**NB** you can't create files in the top level folder you have to
create a folder, which rclone will create as a "Sync Folder" with
SugarSync.
### Modified time and hashes ###
SugarSync does not support modification times or hashes, therefore
syncing will default to `--size-only` checking. Note that using
`--update` will work as rclone can read the time files were uploaded.
#### Restricted filename characters
SugarSync replaces the [default restricted characters set](/overview/#restricted-characters)
except for DEL.
Invalid UTF-8 bytes will also be [replaced](/overview/#invalid-utf8),
as they can't be used in XML strings.
### Deleting files ###
Deleted files will be moved to the "Deleted items" folder by default.
However you can supply the flag `--sugarsync-hard-delete` or set the
config parameter `hard_delete = true` if you would like files to be
deleted straight away.

### Limitations
`rclone about` is not supported by the SugarSync backend. Backends without
this capability cannot determine free space for an rclone mount or
use policy `mfs` (most free space) as a member of an rclone union
remote.
See [List of backends that do not support rclone about](https://rclone.org/overview/#optional-features)
See [rclone about](https://rclone.org/commands/rclone_about/)
