Research direction

Start by reading the configuration handling for server.yaml and pools.yaml, then trace where pool max values are used when spawning resources. Define how a global option should supersede each pool's max value and how the proposed evacuation behavior fits the request. Done means the option can temporarily prevent new resources across all pools without editing every pool section.

Description

enhancement

If we want to (temporarily) disable spawning new resources, we need to edit /etc/resallocserver/pools.yaml and set max: 0 for each pool section. This is too cumbersome as we have 10 pools in Copr.

I would like to propose some boolean option into server.yaml or some main section in pools.yaml that would supersede the max value and temporarily disable spawning new resources.
