Adds documentation for the <snapshotDeleteInProgress/> element to
the libvirt snapshot format XML reference. The <snapshotDeleteInProgress/>
element, introduced at commit 565bcb5d79, ensures the consistency of qcow2
images during snapshot deletion operations by marking disks in snapshot
metadata as invalid until deletion is successfully completed.
The commit was merged but the related documentation was missing.

The idea of the manual mode is to allow a synchronized snapshot in cases
when the storage is outsourced to an unmanaged storage provider which
requires cooperation with snapshotting.
The mode will instruct the hypervisor to pause along when the other
components are snapshotted and the 'manual' disk can be snapshotted
along. This increases latency of the snapshot but allows them in
otherwise impossible situations.

that qemu allows us to format the image. Drop the part of the sentence
