Peter Krempa 7e1b4cc19c qemu: snapshot: Allow inactive internal snapshots with uefi
Historically the snapshot code attempted to forbid internal snapshots
with UEFI both in active and inactive case. Unfortunately due to the
intricacies of UEFI probing this didn't really work for inactive VMs
which made users rely on the feature.

Now with the changes to store detected UEFI environment also in the
inactive definition this broke the feature for those users.

Since the varstore doesn't really change that much in the lifecycle of a
VM it usually is okay to simply leave it as is.

Restore the functionality for inactive snapshots by disabling the check.

In the future when uefi snapshotting will be added the rest of the
condition will also be removed.

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.
