[pdm-devel] [PATCH proxmox v2 2/4] pve-api-types: generate fallback variant for enums

[Stefan Hanreich]

Generate a new variant, UnknownEnumValue, which is used as a fallback
in case the enum variant is unknown in PDM. This ensures
forwards-compatibility with newer Proxmox VE versions, in case they
introduce a new variant to an enum string type. Otherwise,
deserializing return values from the Proxmox VE API fails and can
cause severe issues in the PDM backend / frontend.
