This PR introduces console access support for instances deployed using Orchestrator Extensions, available via either VNC or a direct URL.
- CloudStack queries the extension using the getconsole action.
- For VNC-based access, the extension must return host/port/ticket details. CloudStack then forwards these to the Console Proxy VM (CPVM) in the instance’s zone. It is assumed that the CPVM can reach the specified host and port.
- For direct URL access, the extension returns a console URL with the protocol set to `direct`. The URL is then provided directly to the user.
- The built-in Proxmox Orchestrator Extension now supports console access via VNC. The extension calls the Proxmox API to fetch console details and returns them in the required format.
Also, adds changes to send caller details to the extension payload.

The Extensions Framework in Apache CloudStack is designed to provide a flexible and standardised mechanism for integrating external systems and custom workflows into CloudStack’s orchestration process. By defining structured hook points during key operations—such as virtual machine deployment, resource preparation, and lifecycle events—the framework allows administrators and developers to extend CloudStack’s behaviour without modifying its core codebase.
