[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup v2] server/worker_task: simplify task log writing

[Dominik Csapak <d.csapak@proxmox.com>]

instead of prerotating 1000 tasks
(which resulted in 2 writes each time an active worker was finished)
simply append finished tasks to the archive (which will be rotated)

page cache should be good enough so that we can get the task logs fast

since existing installations might have an 'index' file, we
still have to read tasks from there, but only if it exists

this simplifies the TaskListInfoIterator a good amount

Signed-off-by: Dominik Csapak <d.csapak@proxmox.com>
---
we now write all finished tasks into the archive, as soon as
any code tries to iterate over any finished task

this way we can remove most of the index handling code, besides
that tiny bit of compatibility that we can drop with 1.x
