[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup v2] report: better hardware and system utilization overview.

[Hannes Duerr]

instead of `ls -l /dev/disk/by-id /dev/disk/by-path` the command
`bash -c ls -l /dev/disk/by-*` is beeing used which displays the discs not only
by-id and by-path, but also by-diskseq, by-label, by-uuid, and
by-partuuid, which can be very helpful when assigning iSCSI and
multipath devices.
The execution in bash allows the use of asterisks.

`dmidecode -t bios` outputs the current BIOS version and which allows to
determine whether certain fixes have already been implemented in the
version or not.

`lscpu` provides a good overview of the CPU being used, its flags, and
existing/non-existing mitigations.

`lspci -nnk` displays all PCI devices and the drivers used, which is often
helpful when troubleshooting.

`ip -details -statistics a` provides a detailed overview of the
available interfaces and statistics since the last boot. This
information is often helpful in addressing performance issues and
assessments.

Patch looks good to me, although we probably should explicitly depend on
`util-linux`, `dmidecode` and `pciutils` packages for 
`proxmox-backup-sever` in debian/control then to assure the expected 
binaries are installed.

Yes, that's especially important for those installing on top of Debian,
e.g. for inside a container or some other more minimal set up environment.

And the standard set that we add in the installer might also change.
And while a bit unlikely, it's not a given that these tools will always
be available after installing through our official ISO.
