[pve-devel] [PATCH proxmox-backup v5 5/5] fix #3067: ui: add a separate notes view for longer markdown notes

[Stefan Sterz]

since markdown notes might be rather long, this commit adds a tab
similar to pve's datacenter or node notes. requires a bump of the
widget toolkit in order to use the `pmxNotesView`.

i chose the maxLength of a note in pbs to be 1022*64 because the
server allows at most 1024*64 bytes of form data per request, which
are distributed as follows:

equal signs:             2
the word "digest":       7
digest:                  64
the word "description":  12
description:             65451

so by setting the limit to 1024*64 some users might encounter an
error telling them that the message body was too large even though the
front-end said the description was fine. i wanted to approximate
the 1024*64 limit here as close as possible so i chose:
65451 / 64 ~ 1022.

note that afaict due to the way maxLength is implemented the frontend
might not report an error when it should. this is due to character
encodings and how javascript's string length property works.
