[pve-devel] [PATCH manager v2 4/7] revised task log API call for PVE

[Daniel Tschlatscher <d.tschlatscher@proxmox.com>]

The API call for fetching a tasklog with limit=0 now returns the whole
log as a file stream rather than reading all lines in memory and then
transfering them in JSON format. The behaviour when the url parameter
limit is undefined or not 0 is the same as before, in accordance
with the API specification.
