Historically, we declared pointer type to our types:
typedef struct _virXXX virXXX;
typedef virXXX *virXXXPtr;
But usefulness of such declaration is questionable, at best.
Unfortunately, we can't drop every such declaration - we have to
carry some over, because they are part of public API (e.g.
virDomainPtr). But for internal types - we can do drop them and
use what every other C project uses 'virXXX *'.
This change was generated by a very ugly shell script that
generated sed script which was then called over each file in the
repository. For the shell script refer to the cover letter:

To implement <transient/> disks we'll need to install an overlay on top
of the original disk image which will be discarded after the VM is
turned off. This was initially implemented by qemu but libvirt never
picked up this option as the overlays were created by qemu without
libvirt involvment which didn't work with SELinux.
With blockdev the qemu feature became unsupported so we need to do this
via the snapshot code anyways.
The helpers introduced in this patch prepare a fake snapshot disk
definition for a disk which is configured as <transient/> and use it to
create a snapshot (without actually modifying metadata or persistent
def).

We've dumped all the snapshot helpers and related code into
qemu_driver.c. It accounted for ~10% of overal size of qemu_driver.c.
Separate the code to qemu_snapshot.c/h.
