Description

@elacunza

rsync_short_args doesn't work know and I think it has never worked. Original commit seems this:

c098f71

But rsnapshot docs say:

rsync_short_args -a

List of short arguments to pass to rsync. If not specified, "-a" is the default. Please note that these must be all next to
each other. For example, "-az" is valid, while "-a -z" is not.

"-a" is rsync's "archive mode" which tells it to copy as much of the filesystem metadata as it can for each file. This
specifically does not include information about hard links, as that
would greatly increase rsync's memory usage and slow it down. If you need to preserve hard links in your backups,
then add "H" to this.

So template should put shortargs attached to "-a", without any blankspace.
We should also consider to allow to override the default and let user choose not to use -a
Also we should update side-docs to hint the syntax expected (must include - or nor, no spaces, etc.)
