Block Device Detection:
- Strip btrfs subvolume notation [/@] from detected device path
- Validate detected device before showing it as default
- Show available block devices when invalid device is entered
- Better error messages for device detection issues
Connection Test Improvements:
- 3-step verification process for better diagnostics:
1. Server reachability test (5s timeout with curl)
2. Authentication test with 'status' command (30s timeout)
3. Datastore access verification (optional)
- Step-by-step feedback shows exactly where the failure occurs
- More specific error messages based on failure point
- Shows actual PBS client errors when authentication fails
- Succeeds if authentication works, even if snapshot list fails
(normal when no backups exist yet)
This resolves:
- Invalid device paths like /dev/mapper/root[/@]
- Connection timeouts that were actually authentication issues
- Better user experience with clear progress indicators

The connection test now:
- Has a 30-second timeout to prevent indefinite hanging
- Shows "This may take up to 30 seconds..." message
- Differentiates between timeout (unreachable) and auth errors
- Provides specific troubleshooting steps based on error type
- Displays helpful commands for diagnosing connection issues
This fixes the issue where the script would hang indefinitely
when the PBS server was unreachable.

When PBS client is already installed, the script now offers:
- Reconfigure connection only (server/credentials) - quick option
- Full reconfiguration (all settings)
- Reinstall PBS client and reconfigure
- Exit without changes
The connection-only reconfiguration preserves all backup settings
(paths, schedules, retention) and only updates PBS server details
and credentials. This is useful when switching backup servers or
updating authentication tokens.

Replace wget command with git clone for better version control
and easier updates. The previous wget URL was also malformed.
