[pve-devel] [PATCH manager v8 4/4] ui: console: check on activate if display info for VMs is present

If we already have the display information for a VM, we can proceed
loading the correct console (noVNC or xtermjs).

This way, we don't need to wait for the callback of the VM's
status/current API call to finish setting up the console.

changes since:
v7:
* rebased
v6: none
v5:
* introduce PVE.Utils.isSerialDisplay helper
* avoid 'rec' assignment in callback when setting the 'xtermjs' variable
v4:
* use new status/current display property

v3:
* fixed spacing issues
* add 'current' parameter when fetching config as the pending might have
  a different display set

v2:
* change approach and do it in the UI alone by fetching the VM
  config before deciding which console to use

v1:
* set 'autodetect' to always true in 'VNCConsole.js'
* add additional checks in pveproxy
  * only if autodetect is enabled and console is set to 'kvm'
  * username exists and has VM.Console permissions for the guest
