vm start: set higher timeout if using PCI passthrough
The default VM startup timeout is `max(30, VM memory in GiB)` seconds.
Multiple reports in the forum [0] [1] and the bug tracker [2] suggest
this is too short when using PCI passthrough with a large amount of VM
memory, since QEMU needs to map the whole memory during startup (see
comment #2 in [2]). As a result, VM startup fails with "got timeout".
To work around this, set a larger default timeout if at least one PCI
device is passed through. The question remains how to choose an
appropriate timeout. Users reported the following startup times:
The data does not really indicate any simple (e.g. linear)
relationship between RAM and startup time (even data from the same
source). However, to keep the heuristic simple, assume linear growth
and multiply the default timeout by 4 if at least one `hostpci[n]`
option is present, obtaining `4 * max(30, VM memory in GiB)`. This
covers all cases above, and should still leave some headroom.
In preparation to add more properties to the memory configuration like
maximum hotpluggable memory and whether virtio-mem devices should be
used.
This also allows to get rid of the cyclic include of PVE::QemuServer
in the memory module.

The former one isn't needed here when doing hotplug, because the API

fix #2816: restore: remove timeout when allocating disks
10 minutes is not long enough when disks are large and/or network
storages are used when preallocation is not disabled. The default is
metadata preallocation for qcow2, so there are still reports of the
issue [0][1]. If allocation really does not finish like the comment
describing the timeout feared, just let the user cancel it.
Also note that when restoring a PBS backup, there is no timeout for
disk allocation, and there don't seem to be any user complaints yet.
The 5 second timeout for receiving the config from vma is kept,
because certain corruptions in the VMA header can lead to the
operation hanging there.
There is no need for the $tmp variable before setting back the old
timeout, because that is at least one second, so we'll always be able
to set the $oldtimeout variable to undef in time in practice.
Currently, there shouldn't even be an outer timeout in the first
place, because the only call path leading to here is via the create
API (also used by qmrestore), both of which don't set a timeout.

Indeed, for a non-vDPA/vhost-user netdev, the guest will see TX: 256
instead of the specified 1024 here. With the mentioned QEMU commit (in
master and will be part of 8.1), using 1024 will be a hard error:
> Invalid tx_queue_size (= 1024), must be a power of 2 between 256 and 256
Since neither vhost-user, nor vhost-vdpa netdev types are exposed by
Proxmox VE, just changing the limit to the correct 256 should be fine.

migration: alloc nbd disks: fix fall-back for remote live migration
While the comment sated
> # order of precedence, filtered by whether storage supports it:
> # 1. explicit requested format
> # 2. format of current volume
> # 3. default format of storage
the code did not fall back to the default format in the case of remote
migration, because the format was already set and the code used
> $format //= $defFormat;
This made remote migration from dir with qcow2 to e.g. LVM-thin fail.
Move extracting the format from the volume name to the call side for
local migration. This allows the logic here to be much simpler.
migration: alloc nbd disks: base format hint off source storage
Previously, qemu_img_format() was called with the target storage's
$scfg and the source storage's volume name.
This mismatch should only be relevant for certain special kinds of
storage plugins:
- no path, but does support an additional QEMU image format besides
'raw', in short NPAF.
- no path, volume name can match QEMU_FORMAT_RE, in short NPVM.
Note that all integrated plugins are neither NPAF nor NPVM.
Note that for NPAF plugins, qemu_img_format() already always returns
'raw' because there is no path. It's a bit unlikely such a plugin
exists, because there were no bug reports about qemu_img_format()
misbehaving there yet.
Let's go through the cases:
- If source and target storage both have or don't have a path,
qemu_img_format($scfg, $volname) returns the same for both $scfg's.
- If source storage has a path, but target storage does not, the
format hint was previously 'raw', but can only be more correct now
(being what the source image actually is):
- For non-NPAF targets, since we know there is no path, it follows
that 'raw' is the only supported QEMU image format.
- For NPAF targets, the format will be preserved now (if actually
supported).
- If source storage does not have a path, but target storage does, the
format hint will be 'raw' now.
- For non-NPVM sources, QEMU_FORMAT_RE didn't match when
qemu_img_format() was called with the target storage's $scfg, so
the hint also was 'raw' before this commit.
- For NPVM sources, qemu_img_format() might've guessed a format from
the source volume name when called with the target's $scfg before
this commit. If the target storage supports the previously guessed
format, it was preserved before this commit, but will not be
anymore. In theory, the guess might've also been wrong, and in
this case, this commit avoids the wrong guess.
To summarize, there is only one edge case with an exotic kind of third
party storage plugin where format preservation would be lost and in
another edge case, format preservation is gained.
In preparation to simplify the format fallback logic implementation.

qemuserver: migration: test_volid: change attr name and ref handling

Therefore, there is no need for the 'storage' ref.
The 'referenced_in_config' is not really needed and can apply to both,
attached and unused disk images.
Therefore the QemuServer::foreach_volid() will change the
'referenced_in_config' attribute to an 'is_attached' one that only
applies to disk images that are in the _main_ config part and are not
unused.
In QemuMigrate::scan_local_volumes() we can then quite easily map the
refs to each state, attached, unused, referenced_in_{pending,snapshot}.
The refs are mostly used for informational use to print out in the logs
why a disk image is part of the migration. Except for the 'attached' case.
In the future the extra step of the refs in QemuMigrate could probably
be streamlined even more.

relying on the same behavior.
Other storages backed by block devices like LVM(-thin) and ZFS return
1 and the new size respectively, and the code is older than the above
mentioned commits. So really, the RBD plugin just should have returned
a positive value to be in-line with those and there should be no need
to pass 0 to the block_resize QMP command either.
Actually, it's a hack, because the block_resize QMP command does not
actually do special handling for the value 0. It's just that in the
case of a block device, QEMU won't try to resize it (and not fail for
shrinkage). But the size in the raw driver's BlockDriverState is
temporarily set to 0 (which is not nice), until the sector count is
refreshed, where raw_co_getlength is called, which queries the new
size and sets the size in the raw driver's BlockDriverState again as a
side effect. It's not known to cause any issues, but bdrv_getlength is
a coroutine wrapper starting from QEMU 8.0.0, and it's just better to
avoid setting a completely wrong value even temporarily. Just pass the
actually requested size like is done for LVM(thin) and ZFS.
