[pbs-devel] [PATCH v3 proxmox-backup 00/33] fix #3044: push datastore to remote target

This patch series implements the functionality to extend the current
sync jobs in pull direction by an additional push direction, allowing
to push contents of a local source datastore to a remote target.

The series implements this by using the REST API of the remote target
for fetching, creating and/or deleting namespaces, groups and backups,
and reuses the clients backup writer functionality to create snapshots
by writing a manifeset on the remote target and sync the fixed index,
dynamic index or blobs contained in the source manifest to the remote,
preserving also encryption information.

Thanks to Fabian for further feedback to the previous version of the
patches, especially regarding users and ACLs.

Most notable changes since version 2 of the patch series include:
- Add checks and extend roles and privs to allow for restricting a local
  users access to remote datastore operations. In order to perform a
  full sync in push direction, including permissions for namespace
  creation and deleting contents with remove vansished, a acl.cfg looks
  like below:
  ```
  acl:1:/datastore/datastore:syncoperator at pbs:DatastoreAudit
  acl:1:/remote:syncoperator at pbs:RemoteSyncOperator
  acl:1:/remote/local/pushme:syncoperator at pbs:RemoteDatastoreModify,RemoteDatastorePrune,RemoteSyncPushOperator
  ```
  Based on further feedback, privs might get further grouped or an
  additional role containing most of these can be created.
- Drop patch introducing `no-timestamp-check` flag for backup client, as pointed
  out by Fabian this is not needed, as only backups newer than the currently
  last available will be pushed.
- Fix read snapshots from source by using the correct namespace.
- Rename PullParameters `owner` to more fitting `local_user`.
- Fix typos in remote sync push operator comment.
- Fix comments not matching the functionality for the cli implementations.

The patch series is structured as follows in this version:
- patch 1 is a cleanup patch fixing typos in api documentation.
- patches 2 to 7 are patches restructuring the current code so that
  functionality of the current pull implementation can be reused for
  the push implementation as well.
- patch 8 extens the backup writers functionality to be able to push
  snapshots to the target.
- patches 9 to 11 are once again preparatory patches for shared
  implementation of sync jobs in pull and push direction.
- patches 12 to 14 define the required permission acls and roles.
- patch 15 implements almost all of the logic required for the push,
  including pushing of the datastore, namespace, groups and snapshots,
  taking into account also filters and additional sync flags.
- patch 16 extends the current sync job configuration by a new config
  type `sync-push` allowing to configure sync jobs in push direction
  while limiting possible misconfiguration errors.
- patches 17 to 28 expose the new sync job direction via the API, CLI
  and WebUI.
- patches 29 to 33 finally are followup patches, changing the return
  type for the backup group and namespace delete REST API endpoints
  to return statistics on the deleted snapshots, groups and namespaces,
  which are then used to include this information in the task log.
  As this is an API breaking change, the patches are kept independent
  from the other patches.
