* [PATCH manager/network/proxmox-ve-rs v2 0/3] Expose OSPF Network-Type option

Previously the network-type option on OSPF interfaces was set to either
point-to-point or broadcast, depending on if an ip address was configured on
the interface. This is not enough, as some users want to have a switched
network (e.g. switch) between their nodes, which calls for the
point-to-multipoint network type.

In order to uphold backwards-compatibility, make network-type an `Option`,
where `None` will be the "automatic" network-type selection we had before.

Expose the network-type interface property to the api. Previously it was
internal-only and could be changed from point-to-point to broadcast by
setting or not setting an ip on the interface. Now we expose all the
possible options in the ui. This is also a Option, so that we can 1)
stay backwards compatible and 2) can let FRR figure out the correct
mode (e.g. when adding an ip with an explicit `peer`).

Also move the NetworkType enum to proxmox-sdn-types because we need it
in both proxmox-frr and proxmox-ve-config and we don't want to add the
`frr` feature to the whole section-config module.  Rename the existing
area module to ospf while at it, as it now contains more OSPF-specific
types than just the Area type.

on an ospf interface.

This allows the user to select a specific network type which will be
used for the ospf interface.
