snapshot: make quiesce a bit safer
If a guest is paused, we were silently ignoring the quiesce flag, which results in unclean snapshots, contrary to the intent of the flag. Since we can't quiesce without guest agent support, we should instead fail if the guest is not running. Meanwhile, if we attempt a quiesce command, but the guest agent doesn't respond, and we time out, we may have left the command pending on the guest's queue, and when the guest resumes parsing commands, it will freeze even though our command is no longer around to issue a thaw. To be safe, we must _always_ pair every quiesce call with a counterpart thaw, even if the quiesce call failed due to a timeout, so that if a guest wakes up and starts processing a command backlog, it will not get stuck in a frozen state. * src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateDiskActive): Always issue thaw after a quiesce, even if quiesce failed. (qemuDomainSnapshotFSThaw): Add a parameter.
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.
