VIR_CLASS_NEW insists that descendents of virObject have 'parent' as
the name of their inherited base class member at offset 0. While it
would be possible to write a new class-creation macro that takes the
actual field name, and rewrite VIR_CLASS_NEW to call the new macro
with the hard-coded name 'parent', so that we could make
virDomainMomentDef use a custom name for its base class, it seems less
confusing if all object code uses similar naming. Thus, this is a
mechanical rename in preparation of making virDomainSnapshotDef a
descendent of virObject, when we can no longer use 'parent' for a
different purpose than the base class.

Move the non-deterministic code that sets snapshot properties
independently of what the incoming XML described to instead live in a
default post-parse function common to virDomainMoment (as checkpoints
will also reuse it in later patches). This patch is just code motion,
with no difference to any callers; but the next patch will further
refactor things to allow for a per-driver override, used by the
testsuite to perform deterministic post-parse actions for better
coverage of parser/formatter code.
Note that the post-parse code is intentionally not run during a
snapshot redefine, since that code path already requires a valid
snapshot name and creation time from the XML.

Pull out the common parts of virDomainSnapshotDef that will be reused
for virDomainCheckpointDef into a new base class. Adjust all callers
that use the direct fields (some of it is churn that disappears when
the next patch refactors virDomainSnapshotObj; oh well...).
Someday, I hope to switch this type to be a subclass of virObject, but
that requires a more thorough audit of cleanup paths, and besides
minimal incremental changes are easier to review.
As for the choice of naming:
I promised my teenage daughter Evelyn that I'd give her credit for her
contribution to this commit. I asked her "What would be a good name
for a base class for DomainSnapshot and DomainCheckpoint". After
explaining what a base class was (using the classic OOB Square and
Circle inherit from Shape), she came up with "DomainMoment", which is
way better than my initial thought of "DomainPointInTime" or
"DomainPIT".
