The goal of this series is to add additional sanity checks to the
auto-installer and the TUI and GUI installers. The following checks were
added:
* Btrfs / ZFS RAID: check if the required number of disks is available
* LVM: check if swapsize < hdsize
* Duplicate disks in answer file disk selection
* Networking: check if IPv4 address is valid within subnet (RFC)
Additionally, the documentation regarding maxroot is adapted to remove
the maximum maxroot size requirement since there was no check and adding
a sanity check would have prevented users from installing on setups with
very small disks even if the installation could have succeeded.
The disk-related checks aim to close [0], whereas the IPv4 check would
partially close [1].

Changes since v3:
- Rebased on master
- Moved unit tests for ZfsRaidLevel and BtrfsRaidLevel to
proxmox_installer_common::otions
- Rename check_disks() proxmox_installer_common to check_raid_disks_setup()
- Move dummy_disk() function for tests into Disk struct
- Add new patch that unifies error messages regarding disk and RAID
setup checks across TUI and GUI (mostly, see comment in 8/8)
- Use anyhow::Result to handle errors in LVM disk setups (swapsize, ...)
- Move the refactoring of CidrAddressParseError's Display implementation
to an earlier patch instead of rewriting later on
- Add FIXME to CidrAddressEditView's FormViewGetValue implementation
regarding the proper return type that should be used, needs a bigger
refactoring
Changes since v2:
- Rebased on master
- Removed maxroot check and instead adapted documentation
- Remove some changes that were the result of formatting otherwise
unchanged lines of code
- Added patch to improve error handling when checking CIDR address TUI
network dialog
- In installer 7/7, use the limit variable for the check_mask_limit
function instead of hardcoded 32
Changes since v1:
- Removed rustfmt patch
- Removed patch that changed check_zfs_raid_config (replaced with patch
below)
- Added patch that moves implementation of RAID setup checks to
implementation of ZfsRaidLevel and BtrfsRaidLevel
- Adapted tests for RAID setup validity
- Added configured values in GiB to error messages for invalid
swapsize and maxroot
- Changed maximum allowed swapsize to hdsize/8
- De-duplicated swapsize and maxroot check implementations in
autoinstaller utils and common's disk_checks
- Added patch that adds a check for duplicate disks in answer file disk
selection
- Refactored Display implementation of CidrAddressParseError
- Simplified Deserialize implementation of CidrAddress
- Explicitly allow /31 and /32 subnets in CIDR validity check
Thanks to @Christoph for reviewing the previous versions and his suggestions.
