[pve-devel] [PATCH v2 qemu-server 02/12] api: allow SU privileged users to edit root-only options for VM configs

[Oguz Bektas <o.bektas@proxmox.com>]

we now allow users with SU privilege to edit real device configurations
for VMs.

they still need the required privilege to edit the corresponding
configuration options (such as `VM.Config.HWType`), as well as the SU
privilege.

Signed-off-by: Oguz Bektas <o.bektas@proxmox.com>
---
v1->v2:
* add comments at the shortcuts for root@pam
* remove wrong shortcut for SU, instead check required privileges + SU
* revert migration-only parameters and vzdump internal ones
