[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup] pbs-config: network: expand valid subnet mask

[Gabriel Goller]

Allow a subnet of /0 (0.0.0.0 netmask), which is valid, it's a global
ip-address. This could happen if the user e.g. forgets the enter the
subnet mask in the installer, which leads to a /0 subnet. Nothing is
inherently wrong with it, but the ui will spit out errors.

Fixes: f34d4401f777 ("src/config/network.rs: read/write /etc/network/interfaces")

Note: If we want to avoid a /0 subnet, we should add a check in the
installer — changing the default to /24 would also be nice.
