This series aims to fix #3711 [0] and streamline the detach/remove
behavior around volumes that are either mounted into a container or
attached to a VM as a hard disk. It also adds warnings in case a
volume's underlying storage does not exist anymore. It is a
continuation of a series from 2022 [1], but makes the following changes:

Changes v9 -> v10 (thanks @Fiona for the feedback!):
- Remove pve-storage patch since it was not required for the rest of the
  series to work
- Add patch for pve-container that adds a helper function for
  skip-and-warn if a volume's underlying storage doesn't exist. The
  helper is used in the following patch to avoid repeating the same
  if-else in 4 call sites
- Adapt mountpoint-related patch for pve-container to use the
  with_checked_volid helper
- Add missing PVE::RESTEnvironment import
- Fix multi-line post-if style nit (although without directly importing
  log_warn() to keep it consistent with the remaining codebase)
- Add comments explaining why printing a warning and continuing is fine
  for the linked clone checks in pve-container and qemu-server

Changes v8 -> v9:
- Drop the parse_volname() warning patch in pve-storage. The removed
  storage case should now be handled by the new pending-change checks
  and vdisk_free
- Pass the noerr flag to storage_config() in vdisk_free() so the warning
  branch is actually reached
- Add patch to allow pending mount point changes for LXC if the storage
  is gone, matching VM behavior. Thanks for pointing that out in v8,
  @Lukas!

Changes v7 -> v8:
- Rebased on master

Changes v6 -> v7:
- Added descriptions of changes made to original patches where
  applicable
- Move check if storage exists to vdisk_free() and parse_volname() in
  pve-storage, print warnings
- Remove explicit storage exist check in destroy_lxc_container, wrap in
  eval instead
- Move parse_volume() calls to where input is known to be volume
- Add patch that renames $volume to $volid in destroy_lxc_container()
  and delete_mountpoint_volume()
- Rewrite commit message of pve-container 3/4 (2/4 in v6) such that it's clear this
  is about future-proofing
- Add FIXME note regarding is_volume_in_use() check
- Add warning to destroy_vm() if volume is still used by linked clone
- Adapt commit message of qemu-server 2/4
- Add patch to use log_warn in destroy_vm() instead of warn
- Rewrite patch in in qemu-server to print warnings of storage does not
  exist instead of marking volume without underlying storage as unused
  (vmconfig_register_unused_drive())

Thanks to Fiona for the comprehensive feedback on v6.

Changes v5 -> v6:
- Fix links in cover letter
- Use Originally-by instead of Co-authored-by
- Add documentation for the second patch regarding the use of
  $mp->{volume} instead of $conf->{$opt}
- Note that no functional changes are intended for the the second patch

Changes v4 -> v5:
- Always ignore errors that originate from a removed storage and
  continue with destruction of a container or removal of a volume,
  instead of adding an option to ignore these errors.
- Remove web UI checkbox
- Remove formatting patch
- Additionally allow removing a mount point with a removed storage
  from a running container (previously hotplug removal was not possible)
- Fix style nits from v4 review
- Print warnings for any errors that occur instead of ignoring them
- Add explicit check if storage still exists when destroying a container
  to differentiate between that case and other error cases (which should
  still fail)

Where at least some of the implementation was taken from the previous
series, the patch was marked to be Originally-by by the original author.
