Research direction

Find where the server generates the pwclientrc file and where its backend default is set. Compare the existing xmlrpc default with the supported REST API setting, then verify that newly generated configuration uses rest while preserving the expected file format.

Description

enhancement

pwclient now supports the REST API. As noted in https://github.com/getpatchwork/pwclient/issues/22#issuecomment-1532693342, the pwclientrc files we generate on the server use the legacy xmlrpc backend by default. We should change this.
