Erich Blume 54afa0750b Add how-to guide for restoring 1Password backup from borgmatic (#141)
## Summary
- New how-to guide at `docs/how-to/restore-1password-backup.md` with step-by-step procedure for extracting and decrypting a 1Password `.1pux` export from borgmatic backup
- **End-to-end verified**: extracted from today's borg archive, decrypted age key with openssl, decrypted .1pux with age → valid 31MB zip with vault data
- Cross-links added from: disaster-recovery, 1password, borgmatic, backups policy, and how-to index
- Updated disaster-recovery.md from TBD stub to include a procedures table

## Deployment and Testing
- [x] Verified full extraction + decryption flow against live borgmatic archive
- [x] `docs-check-links` passes — all wiki-links valid
- [ ] Review guide for clarity and completeness
