[pve-devel] [PATCH v1 pve-esxi-import-tools 0/5] Improve listvms.py

[Max Carrara]

This series adds a bunch of improvements for listvms.py, most notably
better typing (and thus better linting support) as well as parsing
arguments via the Python STL's `argparse` [0]. For more information,
please see the individual patches.

All patches were additionally tested in order to ensure that the JSON
output on successful invocations remains unchanged. This was done as
follows:

  # on master
  ./listvms.py $ARGS | jq > ref.json
  # after each patch
  ./listvms.py $ARGS | jq > output.json
  diff -u ref.json output.json

Furthermore, I built the repo's package and installed it on my local
system, and re-added my virtual ESXi host in the storage settings. The
plugin worked as expected - all my VMs on the ESXi hosts showed up and
were able to be live-imported.
