[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox] client: remove option from inner RawApiResponse

[Dominik Csapak]

when using the client for an api call that does not return any data
(it returns '{"data":null}'), we would always get an error 'api returned
no data'. The message is technically correct, but it should not be an
error when we expect no data (e.g. most of our CRUD PUT/POST calls)

instead of having the Option<T> in the RawApiResponse type itself, move
it into to the 'nodata' function intended for api calls where we don't
expect any data.
