Fiona Ebner 69e73e8700 storage: iscsi direct: update information about packages
As reported in the community forum [0], libiscsi-bin is required. The
library package on Bullseye would be libiscsi7, but there is no real
need to mention the package explicitly, because it is a dependency of
both, libiscsi-bin and pve-qemu-kvm.

User Mode iSCSI Backend
-----------------------

:pve-toplevel:
:title: Storage: User Mode iSCSI
endif::wiki[]
Storage pool type: `iscsidirect`
This backend provides basically the same functionality as the Open-iSCSI backed,
but uses a user-level library to implement it. You need to install the
`libiscsi-bin` package in order to use this backend.
It should be noted that there are no kernel drivers involved, so this
can be viewed as performance optimization. But this comes with the
drawback that you cannot use LVM on top of such iSCSI LUN. So you need
to manage all space allocations at the storage server side.
Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The user mode iSCSI backend uses the same configuration options as the
Open-iSCSI backed.
.Configuration Example (`/etc/pve/storage.cfg`)

Storage Features
