Catubba 74e8af2380 feat(devices): re-read a Proxmox host's storage map
Which PVE storage points at which backup server is discovered, never typed
— and until now it was only ever discovered while the Add-PVE wizard was
open. Register a backup server afterwards, which is the entire point of the
Add-PBS flow, and there was no way to complete the map from the interface:
the wizard only ever creates so it refuses a host it already knows, the
device editor renders storages read-only, and the connection test reads
guests rather than storages. Backup routes onto that server stayed
impossible, and the only way through was hand-editing YAML.

Worse, the advice the product gave was actively harmful. Both the Add-PBS
wizard's closing warning and the device editor's hint said to re-run
"+ Add -> Proxmox VE" — which provisions a token *before* it fails on the
duplicate id, so following it rotated the working host's token and then
errored out, taking every backup route with it.

Settings -> Devices -> edit the PVE -> Re-read from Proxmox now rebuilds the
map with the credentials the device already has, matching each storage to a
registered server by host and datastore. The map is replaced rather than
merged, so a storage removed on the Proxmox side goes away here too; the
ordinary save-time cross-reference check refuses a result that would leave
an existing route without a mapping. Both strings now point at it.
