This patch series aims to expand on Dominik's series [0] written for
pbs 3, parallelizing chunk reads in `VerifyWorker` using a seperate
thread pool from the verification.

The number of threads was previously hard-coded, but is now
configurable via the API and GUI with new properties called
`{read,verify}-threads`, similarly to tape backups.

The number of threads should also be configurable through tuning
options or datastore config (as discussed by Chris & Thomas on list),
which can be added in a follow up patch series.

In my local tests I measured the following speed difference:
verified a single snapshot with ~32 GiB (4x the RAM size) with 4
cores (just changing the read threads)

1 thread:    ~440MiB/s
2 threads:   ~780MiB/s
4 threads:   ~1140MiB/s

Changes since v2:
* split move to parallel handler into 2 seperate commits
* add constructor to `IndexVerifyState` and clean up nits

Changes since v1, thanks to Chris:
* define dedicated schema for {worker,read,verify}-threads
* rebase proxmox-backup
* introduce new state struct `IndexVerifyState` to reduce the amount
  of Arc clones and overall better bundling
* adjust update endpoint and UI to the new properties

  pbs-api-types: jobs: add {read,verify}-threads to
    VerificationJobConfig
  pbs-api-types: use worker-threads schema for TapeBackupJobSetup
