Test cases draw the VMIDs of the guests they create at random from a
large range, which makes it unlikely that two runs against one cluster
pick the same id, or that a just freed id, which a cleanup task may
still hold a lock on, is reused right away.
Expose that range on the command line, so runs that must not collide
can be given disjoint ones instead of relying on chance.
Add it as a global option because every suite draws through the same
helper and any subcommand can end up on a shared cluster. run-local
passes no inventory, so its test cases target the host they run on, and
a run inventory is only a set of addresses, which may name a development
cluster.

`random_vmid` covers 2 problems:
- selecting a random VMID to avoid cases where /cluster/nextid returns
a VMID that is still locked (e.g. from a cleanup process). So this
mostly covers same-node runs.
- selecting the same VMID on parallel runs on different nodes of the
same cluster. Drawing from a range of 9 million makes two runs
picking the same VMID vanishingly unlikely.
PROXMOX_TEST_VMID_RANGE_START and PROXMOX_TEST_VMID_RANGE_END override
the range, so parallel runs can be given disjoint ranges to rule out a
collision entirely.

proxmox-test-runner exposes the range the tests draw their guest VMIDs
from, so list it with the other options a run may need. Concurrent runs
against one cluster can entirely avoid collisions through disjoint
ranges.
