[pve-devel] [PATCH manager 1/2] partially fix #5392: pveproxy: make number of workers configurable

[Friedrich Weber]

The number of pveproxy worker processes is currently hardcoded to 3.
This may not be enough for automation-heavy workloads that trigger a
lot of API requests that are synchronously handled by pveproxy.

Hence, allow specifying MAX_WORKERS in /etc/default/pveproxy to
override the number of workers.

Notes:
    I decided against setting max_workers directly directly in
    %daemon_options, to avoid having to call read_proxy_config already
    then. If I understand correctly, overriding $self->{max_workers} in
    init should be fine because it's only used in PVE::Daemon's
    $server_run after init was called.
