Sending as an RFC because I don't want this merged yet; that being
said, the feature should be mostly finished at this point, I'd
appreciate any reviews and feedback.

This series adds support for webhook notification targets to PVE
and PBS.

A webhook is a HTTP API route provided by a third-party service that
can be used to inform the third-party about an event. In our case,
we can easily interact with various third-party notification/messaging
systems and send PVE/PBS notifications via this service.
The changes were tested against ntfy.sh, Discord and Slack.

The configuration of webhook targets allows one to configure:
  - The URL
  - The HTTP method (GET/POST/PUT)
  - HTTP Headers
  - Body

One can use handlebar templating to inject notification text and metadata
in the url, headers and body.

One challenge is the handling of sensitve tokens and other secrets.
Since the endpoint is completely generic, we cannot know in advance
whether the body/header/url contains sensitive values.
Thus we add 'secrets' which are stored in the protected config only
accessible by root (e.g. /etc/pve/priv/notifications.cfg). These
secrets are accessible in URLs/headers/body via templating:

  Url: https://example.com/{{ secrets.token }}

Secrets can only be set and updated, but never retrieved via the API.
In the UI, secrets are handled like other secret tokens/passwords.
