[pve-devel] [RFC storage 4/6] fix #3307: make it possible to set protection for backups

A protected backup is not removed by free_image and ignored when
pruning.

The protection_file_path function is introduced in Storage.pm, so that
it can also be used by vzdump itself and in archive_remove.

Needs an APIAGE+APIVER bump (can be covered by the one for patch #2),
because of the new attribute.

I decided to not just re-use the "renamed is protected" behavior when
pruning, because:
1. it wouldn't protect against removal
2. it would make it necessary to rename notes and log files too

Should the protection files rather be hidden files?

Should we also bother to set the immutable flag on filesystems that
support it?
