well, there could be backups for a container with ID 100 that no longer 
exists, and a VM with ID 100 (that might or might not still exist). 
since those are pruned/grouped separately, we might offer this as filter 
here as well. also, I might only want to prune all VM backups right now ;)

yes, for PBS it's not really possible since the actual removal is 
delegated to GC anyway.

we could have

pvesm prune-backups <storage> [filters]

=> prune without asking

pvesm prune-backups <storage> [filters] --dry-run

=> show what would be pruned

pvesm prune-backups <storage> [filters] --interactive

=> show, ask, (potentially) prune

I am not a big fan of --yes, and --force implies other things to me 
(like attempting to prune as much as possible even in the face of 
errors).

maybe '--confirm' would also be an option instead of '--interactive'?

we could also make it magic based on whether we can prompt on STDIN, 
than script users can just </dev/null
