[pbs-devel] [PATCH] fix #3369: auto-start vms after failed pbs backup

[Dylan Whyte]

From: dylan <dylan at pve.proxmox.com>

Fixes an issue in which a VM fails to automatically restart after a
failed stop-mode backup to pbs.

 Notes:
1. The 1sec time delay was needed, as the check to see if the VM is running
was still true while this code was executed (although the vm was just
about to stop)

2. The previously used vm_status call just checks if a PID exists and
returns true if so. This also returns true when the VM is in "prelauch"
state, hence PVE::QemuServer::vmstatus was used to see the exact state
and handle the situation accordingly. Otherwise, the VM gets stuck in
prelauch state from time to time.
