feature request: auto vmid

[pixel]

there are many api calls that require a vmid even when creating a new guest. can this be done automatically?

also would be nice to refer to guests by name instead of vmid in api calls.

You can use the ' /cluster/nextid' API to get the next free VMID.

VM names are not unique, so we cannot use them.
