Feedback: `proxmox_lxc_guest`

[Tinyblargon]

Now the proxmox_lxc_guest has been added we are looking for some feedback to improve the ergonomics of the new resource.
The plan is that it will soon fully replace proxmox_lxc.

Well... And I just discovered this now -- after spending the weekend writing resources with the old one! 😅

Maybe the documentation could highlight the difference or deprecation status more clearly?

vmid is gone?

I cannot set my LXCs IDs anymore?

I also noticed the features { } block is missing. But I see it’s already being addressed in #1433.

These two items are required to port my resources to the new format. 😟

The ability to manually set LXC IDs is absolutely essential. I understand the potential issues this can introduce, and I agree that automatic ID generation is often the preferable approach.

HOWEVER, for legacy systems that were designed to use specific ID ranges (*) the inability to assign IDs manually is a major drawback.

(*) for example: 100-199 for production, 200-299 for testing, 9000+ for templates, etc
