While using keywords (-t bios,...) would be possible, depending on the
server it also bloats the report with uninteresting information,
hiding the relevant.

Therefore the non-grouped, specific number types are used. Where we
only need specific information, not serial numbers etc., we print the
information from /sys/... which is the same source that dmidecode uses
per default.

New output includes:

sys_vendor:     HP
product_name:   ProLiant DL380p Gen8
product_version:        Not specified

and

board_vendor:   ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
board_name:     Z13PP-D32 Series
board_version:  60SB09M0-SB0G11

also because there are not always both data blocks available.

`-t 0`:
(like the previous "BIOS" output, but without "BIOS Language" block)

`-t 3`:
Chassis Information
        Manufacturer: HP
        Type: Rack Mount Chassis
        Boot-up State: Critical
        Power Supply State: Critical
        Thermal State: Safe
        Number Of Power Cords: 2
        (...)

and

`-t 32`:
System Boot Information
        Status: Firmware-detected hardware failure

which can hint to Proxmox-independant issues, debug-able via IPMI.
