[pve-devel] [RFC qemu-server 6/6] template: start VM for VMA backup

["Fabian Grünbichler" <f.gruenbichler@proxmox.com>]

since using 'vma create ..' no longer works with immutable/read-only
base volumes.

first hunk drops a leftover variable from when we did the same change to
the PBS code path.

this mimics what we already did for PBS, we still might want to think
about limiting memory for the started VM for template backups which
can't be resumed into operation anyway..
