[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup v3 1/6] partial fix #6049: config: enable config version cache for datastore

[Samuel Rufinatscha]

Repeated /status requests caused lookup_datastore() to re-read and
parse datastore.cfg on every call. The issue was mentioned in report
#6049 [1]. cargo-flamegraph [2] confirmed that the hot path is
dominated by pbs_config::datastore::config() (config parsing).

To solve the issue, this patch prepares the config version cache,
so that datastore config caching can be built on top of it.
This patch specifically:
(1) implements increment function in order to invalidate generations
(2) removes obsolete comments
