Two more small things:

The `restore_get_{guest,firewall}_config` docs should probably
specifically mention that these are independent queries and called
without any `restore_*_init()` calls.

Thinking about this more, maybe they should be renamed.
It might be nicer to have the `restore_` prefix used only for restore
processes, and rename these to `archive_get_*_config()`?
These are also used to view the config in the UI (or at least the
`get_geust_config` one is also called from `Storage::extract_vzdump_config()`).
