Earlier patches mentioned that the initial implementation will prevent
snapshots and checkpoints from being used on the same domain at once.
However, the actual restriction is done in this separate patch to make
it easier to lift that restriction via a revert, when we are finally
ready to tackle that integration in the future.

Now that various new API have been added or are coming soon, it is
worth a landing page that gives an overview of capturing various
pieces of guest state, and which APIs are best suited to which tasks.

Prepare for new checkpoint APIs by describing the XML that will
represent a checkpoint. The checkpoint XML is modeled heavily after
virDomainSnapshotPtr. See the docs for more details.
Add testsuite coverage for some minimal uses of the XML (bare minimum,
the sample from html, and a full dumpxml, and some counter-examples
that should fail schema validation). Although use of the REDEFINE flag
will require the <domain> subelement to be present, it is easier for
most of the tests to provide counterpart output produced with the
NO_DOMAIN flag (particularly since synthesizing a valid <domain>
during testing is not trivial).
