snapshot: refuse to generate names for non-regular backing files

Browse Source 
For whatever reason, the kernel allows you to create a regular
file named /dev/sdc.12345; although this file will disappear the
next time devtmpfs is remounted.  If you let libvirt generate
the name of the external snapshot for a disk image originally
using the block device /dev/sdc, then the domain will be rendered
unbootable once the qcow2 file is lost on the next devtmpfs
remount.  In this case, the user should have used 'virsh
snapshot-create --xmlfile' or 'virsh snapshot-create-as --diskspec'
to specify the name for the qcow2 file in a sane location, rather
than relying on libvirt generating a name that is most likely to
be wrong.  We can help avoid naive mistakes by enforcing that
the user provide the external name for any backing file that is
not a regular file.

* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainSnapshotAlignDisks): Only
generate names if backing file exists as regular file.
