# TL;DR 
clamp load imbalance to value between 0 and 1, and display the value as
percentage in HA Status panel of PVE UI. 

# Details
The currently used load imbalance value is given as the so-called coefficient of
variation (CV), a value that may exceed 1. As such, the CV value alone lacks
meaning. A CV value of 0.0 means no imbalance, but what does a value of, say,
1.7 mean?

Relative to the number of nodes in a cluster, it is possible to determine the
upper bound of the CV value [0][1]. By dividing the CV value by its upper
bound, the load imbalance can be represented as a value that varies between 0
and 1. Expressing the CV as a percentage makes the concept of load imbalance
easier to interpret.

# Summary of Changes
This series:
- represents load imbalance as a value between 0 and 1;
- adds a maximum value of 1.0 for load scheduler options; and
- integrates the load imbalance value within the HA status endpoint; 
  this is to provide feedback on the prevailing load imbalance in the PVE UI.
