Thomas Lamprecht ff8ba9c9d9 avoid harmful '<>' pattern, explicitly read from STDIN
Fixes problems in CLIHandler using the code pattern:

while (my $line = <>) {
    ...
}

For why this causes only _now_ problems lets first look how <>
behaves:

"The null filehandle <> is special: [...] Input from <> comes either
from standard input, or from each file listed on the command line.
Here's how it works: the first time <> is evaluated, the @ARGV array
is checked, and if it is empty, $ARGV[0] is set to "-" , which when
opened gives you standard input.  The @ARGV array is then processed
as a list of filenames." - 'perldoc perlop'

Recent changes in the CLIHandler code changed how we modfiied @ARGV
Earlier we assumed that the first argument must be the command and
thus shifted it out of @ARGV, now we can have multiple levels of
(sub)commands. This change also changed how we handle @ARGV, we do
not unshift anything but go through the arguments until we got to
the final command and copy the rest of @ARGV as we know that this
must be the commandos arguments.

For '<>' this means that ARGV was still fully populated and perl
tried to open element as a file, which naturally failed.
Thus the change in pve-common only exposed this 'dangerous' code
pattern.
