This makes sense to me, a feature of using domains is that they
are/should be resolved when actually using (i.e., connecting to them)
so resolving it once on add does not seems like a good idea (if I do
not miss something - as this is a classic "imported from SVN" I do
not have any rationale to look at).
So save the work and pass it as is.

this was not installed, had references to non-existing modules
(e.g., PVE::ReplicationTools) and the things it probably was intended
for are done in pve-manager, which has full access to all pve perl
libs and API methods (from a dependency POV)

on_add_hook allows to encapsulate storage specific add steps, like
copying a keyring (RDB) or creating a volume group (LVM) in a clean
manner.
The same for deletion with on_delete_hook, here all should be cleaned
up, as much as possible.
Until now, this was done directly in the api config CREATE and DELETE
code, respectively, with a series of
if ($storage_type eq 'foo) {
...
} elsif ($storage_type eq 'bar') {
...
}
which isn't really that nice...
Another nice result of this approach is that also external plugins
can use those hooks and to their setup/cleanup steps sanely.

as else we write it to /etc/pve/storage.cfg which is readable by
www-data, a not really private group...

In this patch the nodes will be deleted if the nodes parameter comes with a empty string.
We need this in the GUI when update the nodes in the config to reset if a nodes.
If we do not erase the empty hash the storage online check would be skipped.
Also the password and user would not be verified.
we will use this for the gui to figure out if we have to show
a size selector, a file selector, which formats are there, etc.
we have to include this data even for not active storages, else
we cannot show the correct fields

this patch adds an lvmthin scan to the api, so that we can get a list
of thinpools for a specific vg via an api call
