This RFC is part of a proposal to add direct VM backup export/import workflows
to Proxmox VE.

The goal is to allow VM archives to be transferred directly between the client
and the node, without requiring an intermediate storage location, similarly
to workflows available in other virtualization platforms.

This series extends the existing storage upload endpoint to recognize VMA
archives and trigger a restore workflow.

The implementation intentionally reuses the existing upload infrastructure:

* the current upload endpoint is extended instead of introducing a new API;
* this keeps compatibility with the existing API proxy and authentication
  flow;
* qmrestore is reused as the restore backend.

A dedicated import endpoint could be considered in the future, but the current
approach minimizes changes to the codebase and allows evaluation of the
feature direction.

This patch is intended as an RFC to discuss the possible integration path and
collect feedback before considering a more complete implementation.
