wouldn't it make more sense to define a new standard option for this
instead of defining the same pattern and length in multiple places?

we already have the option 'pve-snapshot-name', defined in QemuServer.pm
as up to 40 character long string with a format 'pve-configid', which is
defined in JSONSchema.pm as m/^[a-z][a-z0-9_]+$/i . IIRC storage
migration and replication have their own naming scheme starting with
'__' and including '-', but only pvesm export/import expose this over
the API (since pvesr works around this by having the sync timestamp as
parameter, and recreating the snapshot name based on this and other
metadata?).

IMHO, we should define the new option to be a combination of the
existing pve-snapshot-name, and the specific naming scheme(s) used by our
code which deviates from pve-snapshot-name on purpose to avoid naming
conflicts.

see above ;)
