[pbs-devel] [PATCH v9 proxmox-backup 5/9] ui: expose GC atime safety check flag in datastore tuning options

Allow to edit the atime safety check flag via the datastore tuning
options edit window.

Do not expose the flag for datastore creation as it is strongly
discouraged to create datastores on filesystems not correctly handling
atime updates as the garbage collection expects. It is nevertheless
still possible to create a datastore via the cli and pass in the
`--tuning gc-atime-safety-check=false` option.

changes since version 8:
- set value to 1 (however kept also the defaultValue, so it is removed
  from the datastore config if enabled).
