[Borgbackup] llfuse versions for 1.1.14 / Linux

Either that (if you use a llfuse package with already pre-built C output
from cython, iirc llfuse.c).

If that llfuse.c was made by a too old cython, it won't compile for
python 3.9. This is the case for the 1.3.6 llfuse package on pypi.

The difference in the 1.3.7 package is that a more recent cython was
used to generate llfuse.c, so it can be compiled for python 3.9.

Alternative, you can do the cythonizing on your own, using a rather
recent cython release.

Then the older package might be ok also.

The issues were at C compile time.

Yes, see the borgbackup and llfuse-python issue tracker.

I am currently working on fixing the compile issue on freebsd and
release a fixed llfuse as 1.3.8 hopefully soon. That should hopefully
run everywhere...
