Description

I propose that it should either be possible to select a target platform or (minimally) Borg should not report errors for platforms that are specifically not supported (like a Linux kernel on Darwin :D)

Research direction

Start by tracing how Borg determines target platforms and reports unsupported-platform errors, using the Linux kernel on Darwin example in the issue. Done means the behavior is defined for selecting a target platform and for platforms that are explicitly unsupported, with both cases handled without false errors.
