maybe somewhat off-topic for the patch at hand, but it might be nice to
modularize the pve report. so that `pvereport` gives you a default set
of information, but you could also use `pvereport ha` to give you more
information specifically about the state of the ha manager or `pvereport
ceph` for information about ceph etc.

maybe paired with a verbose flag so that you could request more detailed
info. e.g. `pvereport zfs` gives the zfs information currently in the
report, but `pvereport zfs -v` could also include `arc_summary` and `cat
/sys/module/zfs/parameters/zfs_arc_max` and other less often needed but
sometimes useful information.

this might be handy especially in cases where you need information that
spans several files/commands that aren't always needed. it might make
the `pvereport` more useful in the forum too, where we currently can't
use it at all because it discloses too much information.
