[pve-devel] [PATCH cluster] API/Cluster: autoflush STDOUT for join and create

[Thomas Lamprecht]

We're in a forked worker here, so STDOUT isn't connected to a
(pseudo)TTY directly, so perl flushes only when it's intewrnal buffer
is full.

Ensure each line gets flushed out to the API client in use to give
immediate feedback about the operation.

For example, our WebUIs Task Viewer won't show anything without this
quite a bit of time, you may even get logged out before the flush
from the perl side happens, which is simply bad UX.
