Eric Blake 25fb3ef1e1 snapshot: properly revert qemu to offline snapshots
Commit 5e47785 broke reverts to offline system checkpoint snapshots
with older qemu, since there is no longer any code path to use
qemu -loadvm on next boot.  Meanwhile, reverts to offline system
checkpoints have been broken for newer qemu, both before and
after that commit, since -loadvm no longer works to revert to
disk state without accompanying vm state.  Fix both of these by
using qemu-img to revert disk state.

Meanwhile, consolidate the (now 3) clients of a qemu-img iteration
over all disks of a VM into one function, so that any future
algorithmic fixes to the FIXMEs in that function after partial
loop iterations are dealt with at once.  That does mean that this
patch doesn't handle partial reverts very well, but we're not
making the situation any worse in this patch.

* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainRevertToSnapshot): Use
qemu-img rather than 'qemu -loadvm' to revert to offline snapshot.
(qemuDomainSnapshotRevertInactive): New helper.
(qemuDomainSnapshotCreateInactive): Factor guts...
(qemuDomainSnapshotForEachQcow2): ...into new helper.
(qemuDomainSnapshotDiscard): Use it.

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.
