For now it only handles the plugin registration and the two recently
integrated helpers.
But, this is a prepartation to move the external metrics server
update mechanic from a stateless always-newly-connect-send-disconnect
to a statefull transaction based mechanis; see later patches
keep the PVE::Status::Plugin use in pvestatd, as we read the cfs
hosted status.cfg there, and the parser is defined by the common
status plugin base module.

in preparation of doing real transactions, with one batch connect +
send + disconnect, and not hundreds of those per update cycle..

we allow an id like storage.cfg but leave it optional (so we do not
break existing configs):
influxdb: name
so that one can export the data to multiple servers of the same type

This allows filtering by node in InfluxDB queries, so the statistics
of all virtual guests on a specific nodes can be queried.
While for InfluxDB this is only a tag which does changes where the
data is stored, Graphite - our other status plugin - has no such
mechanics available. If we would add it to the object hierarchy,
e.g.: "qemu.$vmid.$nodename" a migration of a VM would result in two
different datasets.
So avoid breaking setups and omit it for Graphite for now.

We only allowed servers with the dns-name format, as such status
server may often be in internal networks and with no hostname
(testing, small network so no dns, ...) do not limit the
configuration possibilities with no reason.
Also move the base property part to the base Status class, all
current plugins use server and port so no need for double
declaration of format/descriptions.
If a future plugin doesn't need them it can omit them by not
returning the respective properties in the options method
inherited by SectionConfig.
