Add live backup progress monitoring with automatic completion detection

User Experience Enhancement: Show real-time backup progress instead
of just asking if user wants to follow logs.

Changes to Backup Progress Display:

1. Automatic Progress Monitoring:
   - No longer prompts to follow logs
   - Automatically starts showing journalctl output
   - Displays PBS client's built-in progress bars and stats
   - Runs in background with PID tracking

2. Visual Progress Box:
   ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
   ║  Backup Progress (Live)                                ║
   ║  Press Ctrl+C to exit (backup continues in background) ║
   ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

3. Automatic Completion Detection:
   - Monitors systemd service with `systemctl is-active`
   - Polls every 2 seconds until service completes
   - Kills journal follow process when done
   - Shows final status (success or failure)

4. Helpful Post-Backup Information:
   - On success: Shows how to list snapshots
   - On failure: Shows how to check full logs
   - Includes repository info for easy copy/paste

Applied to Two Functions:
- run_backup_now() - Called after initial installation
- Main menu option 4 - "Run backup now"

Technical Implementation:
- Uses `timeout 3600` to prevent runaway journal process
- Background journal follow with PID capture
- Clean process termination with kill + wait
- Proper error handling for failed backups

CHANGELOG.md Updates:
- Added new "Live backup progress monitoring" feature
- Listed all capabilities and use cases

This provides immediate visual feedback and shows the user
exactly what's happening during the backup process, including
file counts, transfer speeds, and compression stats from PBS client.
