[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-manager master v1 2/6] fix #6816: api: ceph: create 'client.exporter' w/ keyring

... when creating the first MON.

Similar to `ceph-crash.service` [0], create or update the keyring for
the `ceph-exporter` daemon using a new Ceph auth entity called
`client.exporter` when creating the first MON.

Its keyring is placed at `/etc/pve/ceph/ceph.client.exporter.keyring`.

The `ceph-exporter` daemon only needs read access to MONs. Found this
out during testing; this isn't explicitly documented anywhere AFAIK.

In case the daemon requires more capabilities in the future, I
recommend updating them via a separate helper that wraps the `ceph
auth caps` command via `PVE::RADOS`. However, because all this daemon
does is expose a metrics endpoint `http://$HOST:9926/metrics`, I doubt
that it needs any additional capabilities any time soon.
