Create namespaces into a datastore

Introduction

In Proxmox Backup Server, namespaces are a feature introduced to help organize backup data hierarchically.

They allow users to create logical separations within a datastore, making it easier to manage and control backups, especially in multi-tenant or complex environments.

Namespaces are subdirectories within a datastore that can hold backups.

Each namespace acts like a folder structure under the datastore, and backups stored in one namespace are isolated from those in others.
