gnu: Fix Borg crashes with Python msgpack > 0.5
The Python msgpack library changed its name, but borg (and possibly other packages) still uses the old name. Fixes <https://bugs.gnu.org/30662>. * gnu/packages/python.scm (python-msgpack-transitional): New variable. * gnu/packages/backup.scm (borg)[inputs]: Use it.
