Hi,

the docs suggest building a custom erasure code profile with the Ceph
tools and then passing it to 'pveceph pool create' as 'profile'. That
doesn't actually work right now, since the schema still wants 'k' and
'm':

  # pveceph pool create test-ec --erasure-coding profile=default
  400 Parameter verification failed.
  erasure-coding.m: property is missing and it is not optional
  erasure-coding.k: property is missing and it is not optional

Patch 2 makes 'k' and 'm' optional when a profile is given. If they are
passed anyway, they now have to match the profile, where they used to be
ignored. So a script that passed placeholder values next to a profile
would now get an error, which I think is the safer choice, but I'm not
sure everyone agrees.

Patch 1 needs to go in first. destroypool removes the pool's profile by
default, so once patch 2 makes 'profile=default' easy, destroying such a
pool would take 'default' with it. With patch 1 it only removes the
profile createpool made for that pool, unless asked to.

Both patches come with tests in a new test/CephPool_test.pl, and I tried
creating and destroying such pools on a three node test cluster.
Feedback welcome, especially on the stricter check in patch 2.
