what about multiple, you only print the last match which is quite confusing...

And why use `lxc-info`, this is called very often and we know about setups with
1500+ CTs on a single host, so it'd be good to check if adding 1000s forks every
status call could be avoided.

You forgot to add this to the API/CLI return schema in $PVE::LXC::vmstatus_return_properties,
which may highly probably actually want to be an array...

as said above, needs to be an array..
