[pve-devel] [PATCH manager 04/17] get storage type info in /version api call

[Dominik Csapak]

this will be used in the gui, for selecting/creating disks/mps/etc.
this means, that we get the information about a storage from
the backend, instead of hardcoding types in the frontend
(like the lun selector for iscsi)
