i think that could be fine, as long as users have a way of knowing why
the option is disabled. since it is never there for VMs regardless of
the storage, it might be a little confusing. most other cases where we
disable stuff like this it purely comes down to the storage's support
for a feature afaict.

maybe add "(Container Only)" to the field label? not sure if that works
out layouting-wise though. "PBS change detection mode" is already pretty
long (in the backup job's advanced section there is an extra explainer
next to the field, which makes this clear).
