* qemu: internal snapshot improvements
The qemu internal snapshot handling code was updated to use modern commands
which avoid the problems the old ones had, preventing use of internal
snapshots on VMs with UEFI NVRAM. Internal snapshots of VMs using UEFI are
now possible provided that the NVRAM is in ``qcow2`` format.
The new code also allows better control when deleting snapshots. To prevent
possible regressions no strict checking is done, but in case inconsistent
state is encountered a log message is added::
warning : qemuSnapshotActiveInternalDeleteGetDevices:3841 : inconsistent internal snapshot state (deletion): VM='snap' snapshot='1727959843' missing='vda ' unexpected='' extra=''
Users are encouraged to report any occurence of the above message along
with steps they took to the upstream tracker.
