[pve-devel] [PATCH storage] fix #5008: prevent adding pbs storage with invalid namespace

[Philipp Hufnagl]

Currently, when adding a PBS storage with a namespace that does not
exist, the storage gets added normally, but browsing/using it only
returns a cryptic error message.

This change checks if the namespace entered when adding is valid and
prompts an error if it is not. If no namespace is provided, the storage
will be added without error.
