mount: performance improvement

The efficiency difference between `meta.extend(bytes(N))` and `meta = meta + bytes(N)` stems from how Python manages memory and objects during these operations.

- **`bytearray.extend()`**: This is an **in-place** operation. If the current memory block allocated for the `bytearray` has enough extra capacity (pre-allocated space), Python simply writes the new bytes into that space and updates the length. If it needs more space, it uses `realloc()`, which can often expand the existing memory block without moving the entire data set to a new location.
- **Concatenation (`+`)**: This creates a **completely new** `bytearray` object. It allocates a new memory block large enough to hold the sum of both parts, copies the contents of `meta`, copies the contents of `bytes(N)`, and then reassigns the variable `meta` to this new object.

- **`bytearray.extend()`**: In the best case (when capacity exists), it is **O(K)**, where K is the number of bytes being added. In the worst case (reallocation), it is **O(N + K)**, but Python uses an over-allocation strategy (growth factor) that amortizes this cost, making it significantly faster on average.
- **Concatenation (`+`)**: It is always **O(N + K)** because it must copy the existing `N` bytes every single time. As the `bytearray` grows larger (e.g., millions of items in a backup), this leads to **O(N²)** total time complexity across multiple additions, as you are repeatedly copying an ever-growing buffer.

- Concatenation briefly requires memory for **both** the old buffer and the new buffer simultaneously before the old one is garbage collected. This increases the peak memory usage of the process.
- `extend()` is more memory-efficient as it minimizes the need for multiple large allocations and relies on the underlying memory manager's ability to resize buffers efficiently.

In the context of `borg mount`, where `meta` can grow to be many megabytes or even gigabytes for very large repositories, using concatenation causes a noticeable slowdown as the number of archives or files increases, whereas `extend()` remains performant.
