Add an expiration date when using DECOMMISSION VM or DECOMMISSION NODE

Hello!

Having the possibility to enter a date (not mandatory) when decomissioning a vm or node will be very helpful.

Most of my users told me to decommission a VM, but asking to keep its backup for a longer period than the associated management class. For example, some of them will told me to delete the backup immediatly, without any retention, or in 30 days, but if the mgmtclass is set to 90 days, using DECOMMISSION VM will keep that backup for another extra 90 days.

Same for the opposite; if the user wants to keep the backup of the VM for 1-2 years, example for legal purpose, using the DECOMMISSION VM will delete it after the MGMTCLASS retention (90 days in my case).

So having the possibility to specify a "decommission_date", will be very helpful.

Regards,

Yanick
