The catalog stores metadata needed for fast lookups via e.g. the file
browser for single file restore.
Since it is now possible to create snapshots with split pxar archives,
the same metadata can be accessed in a reasonable performat way also via
the metadata archive, effectively making the catalog unneeded duplicate
data for this case.

This patch series therefore allows to lookup directory entries where
needed via the metadata archive instead of the catalog and conditionally
drops the catalog encoding for snapshots using split archive encoding.

The patches adapt not only the `catalog` api endpoint, used by the
Proxmox Backup WebUI to access the snapshots contents but also the
proxomox-file-restore, which is used by the Proxmox Virtual Environments
PBS storage plugin to access and restore contents.

Tested that regular backups can still be inspected and restored and that
the same functionality is still available for split archive backups,
without now having a catalog encoded.

Functionally was tested with the following path series applied to PVE:
https://lists.proxmox.com/pipermail/pve-devel/2024-May/064024.html

Please note: For directories with may entries a noticeable performance
drop is present, which might be improved upon by optimizing decoding.
