In some cases the VM could no longer start when the timeout value was set to a very low value and afterwards, for example, hibernated. In this case the VM is somewhat soft locked, because the API would not allow changing the timeout value anymore. (The only way out here would be to change the value manually in the config)
Signed-off-by: Daniel Tschlatscher <d.tschlatsc...@proxmox.com> --- To make it possible to change the timeout config value when the VM is locked I created a function to tell whether the config should be editable or not. This reduces clutter in the already rather long invoking function. I also tried to keep it extensible for possible existing values that could be included here/are added in the future. Nonetheless, I am open to suggestions for a possibly more elegant solution with this function. Also, I am not quite sure about storing the "allowed" fields hardcoded in the function. But I also didn't find where a good place to store such a "constant" in this repository would be.
