fix: percent-encode ';' in form values

PveHttpClient.EncodeFormValue encoded &, =, +, space, and % but left ';'
literal. PVE's application/x-www-form-urlencoded parser treats a raw ';'
as a field separator (the historical alternative to '&'), so a value like

    boot=order=scsi0;ide2

was split into 'boot=order=scsi0' plus an empty 'ide2' field, and PVE
rejected the PUT with "ide2: unable to parse drive options". This broke
any multi-device boot order set via Set-PveVmConfig -AdditionalConfig,
and any other value containing ';'.

Encode ';' as %3B. Safe under the existing minimal-encoding policy that
keeps ':' and '!' literal for cluster-join: cluster-join payloads never
contain ';', and PVE url-decodes config form values.

Tracked as F088. Closes #64.
