[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup] examples: add example for a simple rest server with a small api

show how to generally start a daemon that serves a rest api + index page

api calls are:
/		GET	listing
/ping		GET	returns "pong"
/items		GET	lists existing items
		POST	lets user create new items
/items/{id}	GET	returns the content of a single item
		PUT	updates an item
		DELETE	deletes an item

Contains a small dummy user/authinfo
