[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server] fix #3428: cloudinit: add parameter for upgrade on boot

[Leo Nunner]

up until now, we did an automatic upgrade after the first boot in our
standard cloud-init config. This has been requested to be toggleable
several times [1][2]. With this patch, "package_upgrade" is disabled by
default, and needs to be enabled manually, diverging from the previous
behaviour.
