[pve-devel] [PATCH docs] storage: iscsi direct: update information about packages

[Fiona Ebner]

As reported in the community forum [0], libiscsi-bin is required.
Also, the library package on Bullseye would be libiscsi7. Just change
the mentioned version to a generic number to never be out of date.

we already depend on the current .so bump for libiscsi in pve-qemu-kvm, so
would libiscsi-bin, so maybe just mention the latter avoiding any need for
communicating the library .so version?
