snapshot: allow disk snapshots of qcow2 disks
For all types of disks other than qcow2, we were requesting that SELinux labeling visit the new file as if it were qcow2, which means labeling would try to find the backing files of an empty file. And for a pre-existing qcow2 disk, we were passing NULL, which meant that labelling tried to probe the file type (and if probing is disabled, per the default qemu.conf, this made snapshots fail). What we really want is to make SELinux labeling visit the new file as raw; it will later be converted to qcow2 if qemu successfully made the snapshot. * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateSingleDiskActive): Force SELinux labeling to avoid probe of new file.
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.
