[pve-devel] [PATCH v4 cluster/network/manager/qemu-server/container/docs 00/33] Add support for DHCP servers to SDN

This patch series adds support for automatically deploying dnsmasq as a DHCP
server to a simple SDN Zone. This series is now in a state where I think it is
okay to integrate into the respective repositories **except** for pve-container

You can (and should) check out the documentation, but here is a quick setup
guide for your convenienve:

You need to install dnsmasq (and disable it afterwards):

  apt install dnsmasq && systemctl disable --now dnsmasq


You can use the following example configuration for deploying a DHCP server in
a SDN subnet, you should also be able to recreate this configuration in the
web UI:


/etc/pve/sdn/zones.cfg:

  simple: DHCPNAT
          ipam pve
          dhcp dnsmasq


/etc/pve/sdn/vnets.cfg:

  vnet: dhcpnat
          zone DHCPNAT


/etc/pve/sdn/subnets.cfg:

  subnet: DHCPNAT-10.1.0.0-16
          vnet dhcpnat
          dhcp-dns-server 10.1.0.1
          dhcp-range start-address=10.1.0.100,end-address=10.1.0.200
          gateway 10.1.0.1
          snat 1

Don't forget to apply the new configuration!

For testing it can be helpful to monitor the following files (e.g. with watch)
to find out what is happening
  * /etc/dnsmasq.d/<zone_id>/ethers (on each node)
  * /etc/pve/priv/ipam.db
  * /etc/pve/priv/macs.db

Known Issues (working on fixes currently):
  * removing an entry with a duplicate MAC address removes all entries with
    MAC address
  * dnsmasq and IPv6 (and DHCP in general) do not really play well together,
    so using subnets with IPv6 configured is wonky
  * removing custom mappings fails due to a missing VMID
  * Changing IP addresses and MAC addresses can be buggy due to the way dnsmasq
    handles leases
  * DHCP DNS server setting is not available in the UI

Changes from v3 -> v4:
  * Improved API (permissions, validation, error handling)
  * UI polishing
  * added support for containers
  * countless small bug fixes

Changes from v2 -> v3:
  * Removed dhcp.cfg, DHCP server now get configured at the zone
  * added UI
  * added / updated API
  * DHCP acquires IPs at vNIC creation instead of VM start
  * DHCP releases IPs at vNIC removal instead of VM stop
  * improved dnsmasq configuration generation
  * added priv/macs.db for caching mac/IP mappings
  * refactored IPAM plugins
  * updated tests

Changes from v1 -> v2:
  * added hooks for handling DHCP when starting / stopping / .. VMs and CTs
  * Get an IP from IPAM and register that IP in the DHCP server
    (pve only for now)
  * remove lease-time, since it is now infinite and managed by the VM lifecycle
  * add hooks for setting & deleting DHCP mappings to DHCP plugins
  * modified interface of the abstract class to reflect new requirements
  * added helpers in existing SDN classes
  * simplified DHCP configuration settings
