[pve-devel] [PATCH storage/manager v4] allow down/upload & import of images in the web UI

[Filip Schauer]

Tested with (.img.raw/.raw), .qcow2, .vmdk and different combinations of
target storages/formats.

Everything worked fine except for one thing:
The upload dialog allows the user to manually change the file name. When
changing the file extension to ".img". Clicking "Upload" is allowed but
after the upload completes, the following error is thrown:
```
Error 400: Parameter verification failed.

filename: invalid filename or wrong extension
```
