[pve-devel] [PATCH storage 2/9] plugin: add get_formats() method and use it instead of default_format()

The LVM plugin can only use qcow2 format when the
'snapshot-as-volume-chain' configuration option is set. The format
information is currently only recorded statically in the plugin data.
This causes issues, for example, restoring a guest volume that uses
qcow2 as a format hint on an LVM storage without the option set will
fail, because the plugin data indicates that qcow2 is supported.
Introduce a dedicated method, so that plugins can indicate what
actually is supported according to the storage configuration.
The implementation for LVM is done in a separate commit.
Remove the now unused default_format() function from Plugin.pm.

NOTE: Storages must support using "current" as a special name in `rename_snapshot()` to
cheaply convert a snapshot into the current disk state and back.
+* Introduce `get_formats()` plugin method
+
+ Get information about the supported formats and default format according to the current storage
+ configuration. The default implemenation is backwards-compatible with previous behavior and looks
+ at the definition given in the plugin data, as well as the `format` storage configuration option,
+ which can override the default format. Must be implemented when the supported formats or default
+ format depend on the storage configuration.

## Version 11:
* Allow declaring storage features via plugin data
