[pbs-devel] [RFC PATCH proxmox 3/4] proxmox-router: add new ApiHandler variants for streaming serialization

they should behave like their normal variants, but return a
`Box<dyn SerializableReturn + Send>` instead of a value. This is useful
since we do not have to generate the `Value` in-memory, but can
stream the serialization to the client.

We cannot simply use a `Box<dyn serde::Serialize>`, because that trait
is not object-safe and thus cannot be used as a trait-object.
