[pve-devel] [PATCH qemu-server 5/8] machine: incorporate pve machine version when pinning windows guests

When creating or updating guests with ostype windows, we want to pin the
machine version to a specific one. Since introduction of that feature,
we never bumped the pve machine version, so this was missing.

Append the pve machine version if it's not 0 so we don't add that
unnecessarily.
