[pve-devel] [RFC PATCH ha-manager 2/2] rules: node affinity: implement negative node affinity rules

Extend the existing node affinity rules plugin to allow users to specify
negative node affinity constraints, which specify the nodes where HA
resources SHOULD NOT/MUST NOT be placed.
Negative node affinity rules are internally represented as positive node
affinity rules, where the positive node affinity rules' nodes set is the
set complement of the negative node affinity rules' node set. As this is
semantically equivalent, this allows no change in the apply logic.
As node priority groups do only hold semantic value for positive node
affinity rules, add all resulting nodes to the default priority group.
