[pve-devel] [PATCH access-control 2/9] privileges: drop VM.Monitor

The name VM.Monitor is ambiguous and makes it hard to guess what the
privilege is for. The privilege was used for two things:
1. QEMU guest agent operations, for which dedicated privileges were
introduced, see commit "add VM.GuestAgent privileges".
2. Access to the QEMU HMP monitor, where only the 'info' and 'help'
commands were usable without an additional Sys.Modify privilege.
Access to the monitor will be guarded with Sys.Audit.
