[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server v3 03/12] fix #5284: api: update-vm: assert content type support for cloudinit images

Asserts whether the target storage supports storing cloudinit images,
i.e. VM images, before creating a cloudinit image on the target storage.

Without the check in place, a cloudinit image can be created on the
storage, which does not support VM images, but won't be able to start
since any attached volume must be stored on a supported storage.

This enforces that allocating a new cloudinit image requires the user to
have the `Datastore.AllocateSpace` permission, which was not required
before. This does not change the behavior for re-generating them.

changes since v2:
  * rebase untop changes of last patch
  * ignore cloudinit images for $isCDROM in drive_is_cdrom(...)
  * the above change fixes that cloudinit images created with
    ',media=cdrom' appended are also checked with the new_disk branch
  * make check a little more readable
