4201a7ea1c snapshot: new XML for external system checkpoint
Each <domainsnapshot> can now contain an optional <memory>
element that describes how the VM state was handled, similar
to disk snapshots.  The new element will always appear in
output; for back-compat, an input that lacks the element will
assume 'no' or 'internal' according to the domain state.

Along with this change, it is now possible to pass <disks> in
the XML for an offline snapshot; this also needs to be wired up
in a future patch, to make it possible to choose internal vs.
external on a per-disk basis for each disk in an offline domain.
At that point, using the --disk-only flag for an offline domain
will be able to work.

For some examples below, remember that qemu supports the
following snapshot actions:

qemu-img: offline external and internal disk
savevm: online internal VM and disk
migrate: online external VM
transaction: online external disk

=====
<domainsnapshot>
  <memory snapshot='no'/>
  ...
</domainsnapshot>

implies that there is no VM state saved (mandatory for
offline and disk-only snapshots, not possible otherwise);
using qemu-img for offline domains and transaction for online.

=====
<domainsnapshot>
  <memory snapshot='internal'/>
  ...
</domainsnapshot>

state is saved inside one of the disks (as in qemu's 'savevm'
system checkpoint implementation).  If needed in the future,
we can also add an attribute pointing out _which_ disk saved
the internal state; maybe disk='vda'.

=====
<domainsnapshot>
  <memory snapshot='external' file='/path/to/state'/>
  ...
</domainsnapshot>

This is not wired up yet, but future patches will allow this to
control a combination of 'virsh save /path/to/state' plus disk
snapshots from the same point in time.

=====

So for 1.0.1 (and later, as needed), I plan to implement this table
of combinations, with '*' designating new code and '+' designating
existing code reached through new combinations of xml and/or the
existing DISK_ONLY flag:

domain  memory  disk   disk-only | result
-----------------------------------------

e2c41e4860 storage: match RNG to supported driver types
At one point, the code passed through arbitrary strings for file
formats, which supposedly lets qemu handle a new file type even
before libvirt has been taught to handle it.  However, to properly
label files, libvirt has to learn the file type anyway, so we
might as well make our life easier by only accepting file types
that we are prepared to handle.  This patch lets the RNG validation
ensure that only known strings are let through.

supported strings.

89b6284fd9 snapshot: also support disks by path
I got confused when 'virsh domblkinfo dom disk' required the
path to a disk (which can be ambiguous, since a single file
can back multiple disks), rather than the unambiguous target
device name that I was using in disk snapshots.  So, in true
developer fashion, I went for the best of both worlds - all
interfaces that operate on a disk (aka block) now accept
either the target name or the unambiguous path to the backing
file used by the disk.

parameter.

d6f6b2d194 snapshot: add <disks> to snapshot xml
Adds an optional element to <domainsnapshot>, which will be used
to give user control over external snapshot filenames on input,
and specify generated filenames on output.

For now, no driver accepts this element; that will come later.

<domainsnapshot>
  ...
  <disks>
    <disk name='vda' snapshot='no'/>
    <disk name='vdb' snapshot='internal'/>
    <disk name='vdc' snapshot='external'>

2a95a3e976 snapshot: update rng to support full domain in xml
This patch will probably cause merge conflicts to those trying
to do backports.  The end goal is simple - domaincommon.rng
should be the state of domain.rng pre-patch, with a few lines
tweaked in the header, while domain.rng post-patch is now just
a shell that includes domaincommon.rng and sets the <start>.

* docs/schemas/domain.rng: Move guts...
* docs/schemas/domaincommon.rng: ...to new file.
* docs/schemas/domainsnapshot.rng: Allow new xml.
* docs/schemas/Makefile.am (schema_DATA): Distribute new file.
* tests/domainsnapshotxml2xmlout/full_domain.xml: New test.
* libvirt.spec.in (%files client): Ship new file.  Sort lines.

6766ff10dd snapshot: track current snapshot across restarts
Audit all changes to the qemu vm->current_snapshot, and make them
update the saved xml file for both the previous and the new
snapshot, so that there is always at most one snapshot with
<active>1</active> in the xml, and that snapshot is used as the
current snapshot even across libvirtd restarts.

This patch does not fix the case of virDomainSnapshotDelete(,CHILDREN)
where one of the children is the current snapshot; that will be later.

* src/conf/domain_conf.h (_virDomainSnapshotDef): Alter member
type and name.
* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainSnapshotDefParseString)
(virDomainSnapshotDefFormat): Update clients.
* docs/schemas/domainsnapshot.rng: Tighten rng.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotLoad): Reload current
snapshot.
(qemuDomainSnapshotCreateXML, qemuDomainRevertToSnapshot)
(qemuDomainSnapshotDiscard): Track current snapshot.
