Eric Blake 7807e05d43 snapshot: reject unimplemented disk snapshot features 
My RFC for snapshot support [1] proposes several rules for when it is
safe to delete or revert to an external snapshot, predicated on
the existence of new API flags.  These will be incrementally added
in future patches, but until then, blindly mishandling a disk
snapshot risks corrupting internal state, so it is better to
outright reject the attempts until the other pieces are in place,
thus incrementally relaxing the restrictions added in this patch.

* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotCountExternal): New
function.
(qemuDomainUndefineFlags, qemuDomainSnapshotDelete): Use it to add
safety valve.
(qemuDomainRevertToSnapshot, qemuDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Add safety
valve.

         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.
