Refactor the function to avoid recursive call to rollback and simplify
calling parameters.
To achieve that most of the fatal checks are extracted into a dedicated
loop that runs before modifying the disk state thus removing the need to
rollback altoghether. Since rollback is still necessary when creation of
the snapshot fails half-way through the rollback is extracted to handle
only that scenario.
Additionally callers would only pass the old 'try_all' argument as true
on all non-creation ("-c") modes. This means that we can infer it from
the operation instead of passing it as an extra argument.
This refactor will also make it much simpler to implement handling of
the NVRAM pflash backing file (in case it's qcow2) for internal
snapshots.

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.
