Pavel Hrdina 3ad5817053 qemu_snapshot: fix reverting to inactive snapshot
When reverting to inactive snapshot updating the domain definition needs
to happen after the new overlays are created otherwise qemu-img will
correctly fail with error:

    Trying to create an image with the same filename as the backing file

Libvirt API for virtualization

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.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
