[PATCH manager v6 14/18] fix #4369: api: optionally only suggest unique IDs

["Michael Köppl" <m.koeppl@proxmox.com>]

At the moment, the `/cluster/nextid` API endpoint will return the lowest
available VM/CT ID, which means that it will suggest re-using VM IDs.
This can be undesirable, so add an optional check to ensure that it
chooses an ID which is not and has never been in use.

This optional behaviour is enabled with unique=1 in the next-id
datacenter option and the previously used IDs are tracked as a list in
the file `/etc/pve/virtual-guest/used-guest-ids`.
