[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-common 1/5] PVE::CLIHandler - new helper print_api_result

LGTM! - gave it a quick glance and started adapting the pveum commands to
it.

If I read it correctly, print_api_result relies on the JSONSchema
definition to be rather complete (using $result_schema->{type} instead of
ref() - forcing callers to cleanup the API-defintions - I like that!

Having the output configurable ('text'/json) is a great feature IMO.

Some questions/minor cosmetic nits inline:

could we use to_json($data, { allow_nonref => 1, utf8 => 1, canonical => 1 })
here instead of the if/else?
$class in the if is not used afterwards - maybe get rid of it?

AFAIS - we get an "error" here if the type is "coderef" (e.g.
bash-completion subs) - do we want special a treatment for that type, or do
we leave it the caller's responsibility to send sane data?
