This PR updates the “Add Repository” menu labels to make the difference between initializing a new Borg repository and adding an existing one clearer.

Motivation and Context
I ran into this problem myself. I had an existing Borg repository on my server and wanted to add it to Vorta. I interpreted “New Repository…” as meaning “new to Vorta,” not “initialize a new Borg repository.”
Because of that misunderstanding, I chose the wrong action and initialized a repository where I actually wanted to add an existing one. This destroyed the existing repository state I expected to keep.
