[pve-devel] [PATCH manager v4] make task log downloadable in the PVE manager backend

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

The read_tasklog API call now stream the whole log file if the query
parameter 'download' is set to true.
This is done in preparation for the task log download button to be
added in the TaskViewer.

Changes from v3:
* API parameter 'download' for directly streaming the file
* Adapted API parameter descriptions to other backends
