Two install-time failures on PVE 8.4.x nodes:
1. 'patch' utility not in Depends — causes silent patch failure on fresh
nodes; all three PVE file patches silently skip, plugin appears to
install but storage operations fail. Added 'patch' to control.j2.
2. ZFSPlugin.pm routing not applied on PVE 8.4.x — tabs→spaces reformat
and get_base($scfg) signature change in 8.4 broke hunks #3 and #4
(the freenas elsif routing branches). Nodes with a prior partial
install are doubly affected: grep idempotency check passes on partial
freenas strings, so the routing is never applied, causing:
"freenas: unknown iscsi provider" on clone/migrate operations.
New ZFSPlugin-8.4.14_1.pm.patch generated against stock PVE 8.4.19,
bundled as patches/ZFSPlugin/8.4.patch alongside existing 8.patch.
Verified clean on pve01-hq (8.4.19) and pve02-hq (8.4.14).
