[pve-devel] [RFC manager 1/4] fix #4474: ui: vm stop: ask if active shutdown tasks should be aborted

Before stopping a VM (KVM or LXC), the UI now checks if there is an
active shutdown task for the same VM by the logged-in user. If there
is at least one, the UI asks whether these tasks should be aborted
before trying to stop the VM. If the user answers "Yes", the UI sends
a VM stop request with the `overrule-shutdown` parameter set to 1. If
there are no active shutdown tasks, or the user answers "No", the UI
sends a VM stop request without `overrule-shutdown`.

To avoid an additional API request for querying active shutdown tasks,
we check the UI's current view of cluster tasks instead, which we
fetch from the `pve-cluster-tasks` store.

As the UI might hold an outdated task list, there are some
opportunities for races, e.g., the UI may miss a new shutdown task or
consider a shutdown task active even though it has already terminated.
These races either result in a surviving shutdown task that the user
still needs to abort manually, or a superfluous `override-shutdown=1`
parameter that does not actually abort any tasks. Since "stop
overrules shutdown" is merely a convenience feature, both outcomes
seem bearable.
