[pve-devel] [PATCH storage] api/pvesm: alloc: allow 'vmdk' for the 'format' option

The API endpoint for allocating an image will automatically detect the
format from the extension for raw, qcow2 and vmdk, but it was not yet
possible to specify the format explicitly via the 'format' parameter.
This could be annoying/surprising to users. There also might be
third-party plugins that want to use vmdk, but not require a suffix in
the name. Add 'vmdk' as an allowed format to avoid these issues and
for consistency.
