[pve-devel] [PATCH v3 storage] deprecate mkdir option for create-path and create-sub-dirs

The `mkdir` option has two meanings[0][1] which are split up in `create-path`
and `create-sub-dirs`.

The `create-path` option decides if the path to the storage is
automatically created or not.
The `create-sub-dirs` options decides if the default directory
structure (dump, images, ...) at the storage location is created.

The `mkdir` option is still working but will trigger a warning in the
logs.

As a side effect, this also fixes #3214 because the `create-path` option
is now run after the `is_mountpoint` check in the `activate_storage`
method in DirPlugin.pm.

This is the continuation of quite the old patch series [2]. We never
applied it prior to the release of Proxmox VE 7. Hopefully we can get it
into v8 so that we can think about dropping the 'mkdir' parameter in v9.

I added the T-b: Fabian Grünbichler [3] but feel free to remove it if
you think that it has been too long ago :)

changes from
v2:
* rebased
* reworked if conditions in 'should_create_path' for better readability
* added ${storeid} to deprecation warning

v1: (thx @fabian for the review [3])
* adjusted parameters to use - instead of _
* renamed populate_directory with create-sub-dirs

One thing we should also check is how to handle default storages, mainly
`local` which AFAICT has `mkdir 1` set which will trigger deprecation
warnings in the syslog.
