[PATCH v2 pve-qemu-kvm] patches: pbs block driver: correct a data type

gcc warns (-Werror=type-limits) that it will always be false for the
if statement. This is because here s->aid is defined as char, while
proxmox_restore_open_image() returns an int.

This is probably because chars are treated as unsigned on arm arch but
signed on x86 arch:

[changes since v1]
Use uint8_t for s->aid. Check the returned value from
proxmox_restore_open_image(), then assign it to s->aid.

Fiona: the doctor found no fish bone in my throat (probably swallowed),
so here's my best try :) I did minimal testing (it built).

I also found that chars are unsigned on riscv64, powerpc64le...not that
proxomx needs to worry about those arch though.
