Abstract Base Module + Documentation for PVE::Storage::Plugin API - v1
======================================================================

This series adds a base module (interface) for PVE::Storage::Plugin,
named PVE::Storage::PluginBase, which lists all methods that are part of
the Storage Plugin API. Additionally, docstrings for every method are
added in order to provide context for (third-party) developers, as
sometimes a complete roundtrip through our code is otherwise necessary
in order to (really) understand what a method does.

Special thanks go to @Maximilano, who has helped me out a lot with this
series!

Essentially, the base module is similar to PVE::LXC::Plugin [1], with
the exception that docstrings are added.

Instead of documenting every single parameter separately, common /
recurring method parameters are listed and explained at the very top of
the file. The caching mechanism of a few methods is also described in
the top-level documentation.

Any feedback regarding the docs is highly appreciated -- I hope that we
haven't overlooked anything. We tried to keep things concise unless it's
absolutely necessary to add additional context.

Also, most (but not all) of the methods `croak` right now if they're
unimplemented, but I feel like default return values for certain methods
could be returned instead. Then again, ::Plugin already provides those
defaults, so I'm not sure if it matters either way.
