External checkpoints could be created with snapshot-create, but
without libvirt supplying a default name for the memory file,
it is essential to add a new argument to snapshot-create-as to
allow the user to choose the memory file name. This adds the
option --memspec [file=]name[,snapshot=type], where type can
be none, internal, or external. For an example,
virsh snapshot-create-as $dom --memspec /path/to/file
is the shortest possible command line for creating an external
checkpoint, named after the current timestamp.

(cmdSnapshotCreateAs): Use it.
* tests/virsh-optparse (test_url): Test it.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-create-as): Document it.
* .gnulib: Update to latest, for improved 'make syntax-check' and
compiler warnings.
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4 (LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS):
Re-silence -Wformat-nonliteral.
* cfg.mk (_test_script_regex): Recognize our test scripts.
* gnulib/local/lib/*.diff: Drop, now that gnulib has this.
* tests/virsh-optparse: Fix use of compare.
* tests/virsh-schedinfo: Likewise.
Prior to commit 85d2810, we had an issue where:
snapshot-create-as dom name --diskspec spec --diskspec spec
failed to parse the second spec, because the first spec had marked
that option as no longer requiring an argument.
In commit 85d2810, I fixed it by making argv options no longer mark
the option as seen. But this in turn breaks mandatory argv options,
which now complain that the argv option is missing.
This patch reverts that part of 85d2810, and instead replaces it with
fixes to no longer clear opts_need_arg of an argv argument.
* tools/virsh.c (vshCmddefGetOption, vshCmddefGetData)
(vshCommandParse): Fix option parsing for required argv option.
(vshCmddefOptParse): Check that argv option is last.
* tests/virsh-optparse: Enhance test.
With this patch, it is hopefully a bit more obvious that for
snapshot-create-as, a literal '--diskspec' is mandatory if name
or description was omitted, but optional if all earlier options
were provided.
These all denote two diskspecs and a description:
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc vda vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc --diskspec vda --diskspec vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc --diskspec vda vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name desc vda --diskspec vdb
virsh snapshot-create-as dom --diskspec vda --diskspec vdb name desc
This gives two diskspecs but no description:
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name --diskspec vda --diskspec vdb
And this treats 'vda' as the description, with only one diskspec:
virsh snapshot-create-as dom name vda vdb
The help output now shows:
snapshot-create-as <domain> [<name>] [<description>] [--print-xml] [--no-metadata] [--halt] [--disk-only] [[--diskspec] <string>]...
I also checked the help output for echo and send-key, which are two
other variants of argv commands.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-create-as): Document when a literal
--diskspec must preceed a diskspec argument.
* tools/virsh.c (vshCmddefHelp): Update help output for argv when
naming the option is useful.
(vshCmddefGetData): Fix logic on when argv was seen.
* tests/virsh-optparse: Add tests to avoid regressions.
Expose the disk-only flag through virsh. Additionally, make
virsh snapshot-create-as take an arbitrary number of diskspecs,
which can be used to build up the xml for <domainsnapshot>.
* tools/virsh.c (cmdSnapshotCreate): Add --disk-only.
(cmdSnapshotCreateAs): Likewise, and add argv diskspec.
(vshParseSnapshotDiskspec): New helper function.
(vshCmddefGetOption): Allow naming of argv field.
* tools/virsh.pod (snapshot-create, snapshot-create-as): Document
them.
* tests/virsh-optparse: Test snapshot-create-as parsing.
The last patch breaks make check for two reasons. First, it reverses the
condition but leaves default level unchanged, so instead of not printing
anything but errors before the patch it now prints all debug messages by
default. Second, you forgot to change -d5 option passed to virsh in
tests/virsh-optparse to -d0; the script wants to see all debug messages.
