[pve-devel] [PATCH storage/manager v3] allow upload & import of qcow2 in the web UI

most of the building blocks are already there:
* we can have qcow2 files in an import storage
* we can import qcow2 files via the api from such a storage

this series fills in the missing bits & pieces:
* allow uploading qcow2 files into an import storage via the webgui
* adding the possibility to select such a file when creating a vm/disk

We could maybe also allow this for raw/vmdk if we want to, but IMHO
we can start out with qcow2 and add the others as necssary.

(if wanted, I can of course also add the others in a next version or as
a follow up)

One minor "ugliness": when switching between import on/off, the target
storage selector resets. This is normally intended by the component,
since it's most often only disabled when it's still visible, except here
in this case.

If this is a blocker, I can of course add an option to the selector
to not do this here, but IMHO this is a rather odd use case anyway,
so I opted for not handling that explicitely.

changes from v2:
* fix correctly unset 'import-from' in wizard when going to summary,
  back to disk, unselecting import, then going forward to the summary
  again
* fixed an issue with the file selector being mistakenly disabled

changes from v1:
* fixed an issue where the file selector would be hidden but invalid
