[pdm-devel] [RFC PATCH 1/3] pdm-client: add query builder

A big proportion of the consumers of this API use the `format!` macro to
define the base of the url, hence why we use a `Cow<'_, str>` on the
constructor.

A `perl-api-path-builder` feature was added to satisfy the needs of
pve-api-types.

This is marked as RFC as I think this is better suited for proxmox-client and
here it is easier to showcase in the second and third commit how the API falls
into place.
