[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server v1 1/5] disk reassign: add API endpoint

[Aaron Lauterer <a.lauterer@proxmox.com>]

The goal of this new API endpoint is to provide an easy way to move a
disk between VMs as this was only possible with manual intervention
until now. Either by renaming the VM disk or by manually adding the
disks volid to the config of the other VM.

The latter can easily cause unexpected behavior such as disks attached
to VM B would be deleted if it used to be a disk of VM A. This happens
because PVE assumes that the VMID in the volname always matches the VM
the disk is attached to and thus, would remove any disk with VMID A
when VM A was deleted.

The term `reassign` was chosen as it is not yet used
for disk VMs.

rfc -> v1:
* add support to reassign unused disks
* add support to provide a config digest for the target vm
* add additional check if disk key is present in config
* reorder checks a bit

In order to support unused disk I had to extend
PVE::QemuServer::Drive::valid_drive_names for the API parameter
validation.

Checks are ordered so that cheap tests are run at the first chance to
fail early.

The check if both VMs are present on the node is a bit redundant because
locking the config files will fail if the VM is not present. But with
the additional check we can provide a useful error message to the user
instead of a "Configuration file xyz does not exist" error.

Feedback, especially on the checks is welcome.
