[pbs-devel] [RFC v2 proxmox-backup 42/42] api: backup: add no-cache flag to bypass local datastore cache

Adds the `no-cache` flag so the client can request to bypass the
local datastore cache for chunk uploads. This is mainly intended for
debugging and benchmarking, but can be used in cases the caching is
known to be ineffective (no possible deduplication).
