[pve-devel] [PATCH-SERIES v3 qemu-server/manager] more flexible restore

[Fabian Ebner <f.ebner@proxmox.com>]

Allows preserving disks and overriding VM settings upon restore.
For containers, overriding settings was already possible, but managing
partial restore is more involved because of nested mount structure,
etc.

Exposes the functionality in the UI, allowing to set (host)name,
cores(+sockets), memory, and, for VMs, which action should be taken for
the drive.

Also includes the related improvement in the UI, to detect if a
storage needed by the restore is not available.


Changes from v2:
    * Dropped already applied patches.
    * Switch to a parameter with explicit drive actions, which also
      allows setting a per-drive target storage.
    * Adapt UI and improve JS style.


Necessary dependency bumps are pve-manager -> widget-toolkit
and pve-manager -> qemu-server -> qemu.


Still missing:
    * add documentation for the new restore functionality for VMs and
      existing restore functionality for containers.
    * add per-drive storage selection to UI (just adding a widgetcolumn
      with our storage selector means an API call for each disk, which
      is sub-optimal)


qemu-server:

  api: create: refactor parameter check logic
  api: create: allow overriding non-disk options during restore
  restore: allow specifying drive actions during restore
