* [pmg-devel] [PATCH pmg-api] backup: restore: keep relevant subdirs in /etc/pmg for inotify

By wiping the subdirectories in /etc/pmg/, we lose the inotify
watchers upon restore (/etc/pmg itself and thus most configs are
currently handled by the keep_root flag to rmtree)
This can lead to inconsistencies after restoring for parts relying on
config in a subdirectory (e.g. /etc/pmg/pbs/pbs.conf).

This patch keeps a list of relevant config directories in place by
iterating over all entries and checking if they should be kept.

an alternative approach would be to simply reload pmgdaemon/pmgproxy
upon config-restore, but that feels more likely to miss some
(potentially future) service, expecting inotify to work.

Huge Thanks to Fiona for not only reporting, but also analyzing the issue!

Style nit: indentation

I wonder if we should have a helper for removing only files (or
alternatively keeping all directories) from a directory structure,
rather than passing explicitly what to keep? Otherwise, this list needs
to be updated when the directory structure changes.

Also might make sense to put it somewhere more central, as it likely
will be needed when PVE gets host backup/restore support (for PBS) too?
But can still be done when actually needed of course.

was one of my ideas, but then I thought it would be a larger change - from
the current behavior and leave potentially unrelated, manually created
directories lying around.
Then again - you have a point with a few directory-leftovers being
preferable to manually tracking (and likely forgetting) added
config-directories in an additional place - I'll try to add
`rmtree_keep_skel` to PVE::Utils, and use it here
