This patch series expands the RRD format for nodes and VMs. For all types
(nodes, VMs, storage) we adjust the aggregation to align them with the way they
are done on the Backup Server. Therefore, we have new RRD defitions for all
3 types.

New values are added for nodes and VMs. In particular:

Nodes:
* memfree
* membuffers
* memcached
* arcsize
* pressures:
  * cpu some
  * io some
  * io full
  * mem some
  * mem full

VMs:
* memhost (memory consumption of all processes in the guests cgroup, host view)
* pressures:
  * cpu some
  * cpu full
  * io some
  * io full
  * mem some
  * mem full

To not lose old RRD data, we need to migrate the old RRD files to the ones with
the new schema. Some initial performance tests showed that migrating 10k VM
RRD files took ~2m40s single threaded. This is way to long to do it within the
pmxcfs itself. Therefore this will be a dedicated step. I wrote a small rust
tool that binds to librrd to to the migraton.

We could include it in a post-install step when upgrading to PVE 9.

To avoid missing data and key errors in the journal, we need to ship some
changes to PVE 8 that can handle the new format sent out by pvestatd. Those
patches are the first in the series and are marked with a "-pve8" postfix in the
repo name.

This RFC series so far only handles migration and any changes needed for the new
fields. It does not yet include any GUI patches to add additional graphs to the
summary pages of nodes and guests.

Plans:
* Add GUI parts:
  * Additional graphs, mostly for pressures.
  * add more info the memory graph. e.g. ZFS ARC
  * add host memory view of guests in graph and gauge

* pve8to9:
  * have a check how many RRD files are present and verify that there is enough
        space on the root FS


How to test:
1. build pve-cluster with the pve8 patches and install it on all nodes.
2. build all the other packages and install them.
   build the migration tool with cargo and copy the binary to the nodes for now.
3. run the migration tool on the first host
4. continue running the migration tool on the other nodes one by one

If you uncomment the extra logging in the pmxcfs/status.c you should see how
the different situations are handled.
In the PVE8 patches start at line 1373, in the later patches for PVE9 it starts
 at line 1565.
