Clint Branham 94424367bf fix: remediate scan-4 findings F058, F062, F063, F071, F072, F073, F074, F075
F058 (critical): Replace while(true) infinite-loop task polling with
TaskService.WaitForTask in 5 container snapshot and storage cmdlets.

F073+F047 (high): Migrate net9.0 → net10.0 across both source .csproj
files, build.yml, publish.yml, and test helper.

F071 (medium): Add Uri.EscapeDataString() to all inline URL path
segments in ~16 cmdlets that bypass service classes (D003).

F062+F063 (medium): Add ConfirmImpact.High to Restart-PveContainer
and Suspend-PveContainer (D006).

F075 (medium): Generate markdown help docs for 89 cmdlets that were
missing documentation (170 total, up from 81).

F072 (low): Remove unused System.Text.Json dependency from Core.csproj.
F074 (low): Raise publish smoke-test threshold from 60 to 150.
F065 (low): Add .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml.
F066 (low): Add CODEOWNERS.

Also fix _TestHelper.ps1 net9.0 → net10.0 framework reference.

Import-PveOva

SYNOPSIS

Imports an OVA file into a Proxmox VE virtual machine.

SYNTAX

Import-PveOva [-Node] <String> [-Storage] <String> [-Path] <String> -TargetStorage <String> [-VmId <Int32>]
 [-Name <String>] [-Memory <Int32>] [-Cores <Int32>] [-Wait] [-Session <PveSession>]
 [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>]

DESCRIPTION

Imports an OVA (Open Virtual Appliance) archive into Proxmox VE by parsing the embedded OVF descriptor, uploading the OVA, creating a new VM, and importing each disk. Use -Name, -Memory, or -Cores to override values from the OVF. Use -Wait to block until all import tasks complete.
