[pve-devel] [RFC pve-storage master v1 03/12] plugin: meta: introduce 'short-name'

[Max R. Carrara]

'short-name' is a new key that can be defined in a plugin's
`plugindata()`, containing the plugin's "colloquially used" or
abbreviated name.

For example:
- ZFS pool plugin / 'zfspool'      --> "ZFS"
- Directory plugin / 'dir'         --> "Directory"
- LVM thin pool plugin / 'lvmthin' --> "LVM-Thin"
- ... and so on.

This key is added so that custom storage plugins can define how they
are named in user interfaces and whatnot, instead of just using their
`type()`.

Optionally return 'short-name' as part of the 'plugins/storage' and
'plugins/storage/{plugin}' endpoints.
