[pve-devel] [PATCH pmg-api v3] make tasklog downloadable in the PMG backend

[Daniel Tschlatscher <d.tschlatscher@proxmox.com>]

The read tasklog API call now streams the log file if the limit
parameter is set to 0. If not, it should behave the same as before.
This is done in preparation for the task log download button to be
added in the TaskViewer.

I saw an opportunity here to clear some redundant code for displaying
the tasklog and replaced it with a call to dump_logfile(), akin to how
this is handled in pve-manager.

changes from v2
* replaced helper call with inline implementation
* changed compression cutoff to 1024
* replaced stat($filename)→size call with "-s"
