PVE 7.x uses cgroupv2 by default, so reporting the new default in the UI
would be correct for most installations. That said, we do still support
cgroupv1[0], so ideally, the default in the UI would be shown depending
on the cgroup version the node is actually running.

I think this was the plan, but it never got realized. This (not yet
applied) patch[1] would expose the cluster node's cgroup version to
other nodes, to be used by the frontend.

@Thomas: Is this still the plan? If it is, I'll cook up a v2 adding UI
and doc patches.
