snapshot: support extra state in snapshots

In order to distinguish disk snapshots from system checkpoints, a
new state value that is only valid for snapshots is helpful.

* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in (VIR_DOMAIN_LAST): New placeholder.
* src/conf/domain_conf.h (virDomainSnapshotState): New enum mapping.
(VIR_DOMAIN_DISK_SNAPSHOT): New internal enum value.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainState): Use placeholder.
(virDomainSnapshotState): Extend mapping by one for use in snapshot.
(virDomainSnapshotDefParseString, virDomainSnapshotDefFormat):
Handle new state.
(virDomainObjSetState, virDomainStateReasonToString)
(virDomainStateReasonFromString): Avoid compiler warnings.
* tools/virsh.c (vshDomainState, vshDomainStateReasonToString):
Likewise.
* src/libvirt_private.syms (domain_conf.h): Export new functions.
* docs/schemas/domainsnapshot.rng: Tighten state definition.
* docs/formatsnapshot.html.in: Document it.
* tests/domainsnapshotxml2xmlout/disk_snapshot.xml: New test.

<h2><a name="SnapshotAttributes">Snapshot XML</a></h2>
<p>
There are several types of snapshots:
</p>
<dl>
<dt>disk snapshot</dt>
<dd>Contents of disks (whether a subset or all disks associated
with the domain) are saved at a given point of time, and can
be restored back to that state. On a running guest, a disk
snapshot is likely to be only crash-consistent rather than
clean (that is, it represents the state of the disk on a
sudden power outage, and may need fsck or journal replays to
be made consistent); on an inactive guest, a disk snapshot is
clean if the disks were clean when the guest was last shut
down. Disk snapshots exist in two forms: internal (file
formats such as qcow2 track both the snapshot and changes
since the snapshot in a single file) and external (the
snapshot is one file, and the changes since the snapshot are
in another file).</dd>
<dt>VM state</dt>
<dd>Tracks only the state of RAM and all other resources in use
by the VM. If the disks are unmodified between the time a VM
state snapshot is taken and restored, then the guest will
resume in a consistent state; but if the disks are modified
externally in the meantime, this is likely to lead to data
corruption.</dd>
<dt>system checkpoint</dt>
<dd>A combination of disk snapshots for all disks as well as VM
state, which can be used to resume the guest from where it
left off with symptoms similar to hibernation (that is, TCP
connections in the guest may have timed out, but no files or
processes are lost).</dd>
</dl>
<p>
Libvirt can manage all three types of snapshots. For now, VM
state snapshots are created only by
the <code>virDomainSave()</code>, <code>virDomainSaveFlags</code>,
and <code>virDomainManagedSave()</code> functions, and restored
via the <code>virDomainRestore()</code>,
<code>virDomainRestoreFlags()</code>, <code>virDomainCreate()</code>,
and <code>virDomainCreateWithFlags()</code> functions (as well
as via domain autostart). With managed snapshots, libvirt
tracks all information internally; with save images, the user
tracks the snapshot file, but libvirt provides functions such
as <code>virDomainSaveImageGetXMLDesc()</code> to work with
those files.
</p>
<p>System checkpoints are created
by <code>virDomainSnapshotCreateXML()</code> with no flags, and
disk snapshots are created by the same function with
the <code>VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_DISK_ONLY</code> flag; in
both cases, they are restored by
the <code>virDomainRevertToSnapshot()</code> function. For
these types of snapshots, libvirt tracks each snapshot as a
separate <code>virDomainSnapshotPtr</code> object, and maintains
a tree relationship of which snapshots descended from an earlier
point in time.
</p>
<p>
Attributes of libvirt snapshots are stored as child elements of
the <code>domainsnapshot</code> element. At snapshot creation
