…pecialized rsync flags - Added dedicated toggles under 'Expert Options' for specialized rsync flags: Preserve Creation Time (`--crtimes`), Preserve Owner (`--owner`), Preserve Group (`--group`), Sparse Files (`--sparse`), and Numeric IDs (`--numeric-ids`). - Directly mapped UI components to config logic and `rsyncPrefix` generation in `tools.py` for maximum backup configurability.

Hello,
I am a new contributor, and I was fixing/modifying some things about BackInTime for myself today, but then I decided to do it as a contribution to the official project and add a much-wanted feature while I was at it (I added dry run). I have tested everything, and it works 100%. Screenshots shouldn't be necessary for these additions/fixes since nothing about the GUI itself has changed. I hope this helps others to continue to use BackIntime for many years to come!
