[pbs-devel] [RFC proxmox-backup] tape: media_catalog: add snapshot list cache for catalog

[Dietmar Maurer]

For some parts of the ui, we only need the snapshot list from the catalog,
and reading the whole catalog (can be multiple hundred MiB) is not
really necessary.

Instead, we write the list of snapshots into a seperate .index file. This file
is generated on demand and is much smaller and thus faster to read.
---

Like the patch from Dominik, but generates the cache on demand.
