[pve-devel] [PATCH v3 pve-storage 06/13] cephconfig: support line-continuations in parser

[Max Carrara <m.carrara@proxmox.com>]

Ceph's docs state the following [0]:
> The backslash character `\` is used as the line-continuation marker
> that combines the next line with the current one.

This commit implements the support of such line-continuations in our
parser.

The line following a line ending with a '\' has its whitespace
preserved, which matches the behaviour in Ceph's original
implementation [1]. In other words, leading and trailing whitespace is
not stripped from a continued line.
