fix(vm_provision_mixin): storage 'enabled' absent means enabled, not disabled

Proxmox's /storage API omits the "enabled" key entirely for storages that
were never explicitly toggled, rather than defaulting it to 1 — it isn't
present-and-falsy, it's just absent. Both _find_default_image_storage and
the snippet-storage discovery treated storage.get("enabled") as truthy-check,
so every storage without an explicit "enabled": 1 was silently excluded.

Confirmed live against a real Proxmox test server: local-lvm, local-zfs, and
fast-zfs all had content=images with no "enabled" key at all, causing
create_vm_from_cloud_init to always fail with "No storage with
content='images' found" despite multiple valid storages existing. All prior
tests used "enabled": 1 explicitly in their fixtures, masking the bug.

Fix: storage.get("enabled", 1) != 0 — absent or truthy means enabled, only
an explicit 0 excludes it. 4 new regression tests, 28 total pass.
