Pavel Hrdina 88d0e6748d qemu_snapshot: add checks for external snapshot deletion
With the introduction of external snapshot revert support we need to
error out in some cases when trying to delete some snapshots.

If users reverts to non-leaf snapshots and would try to delete it after
the revert is done it would not work currently as this operation would
require using block-stream which is not implemented for now as in this
case the snapshot has two children so the disk files have multiple
overlays.

Similarly if user reverts to non-leaf snapshot and would try to delete
snapshot that is non-leaf but not in currently active snapshot chain we
would still need to use block-commit operation. The issue here is that
in order to do that we would have to start new qemu process with
different domain definition than what is currently used by the domain.
If the current domain would be running it would complicate things even
more so this operation is not yet supported.

If user creates new snapshot after reverting to non-leaf snapshot it
creates a new branch. Deleting snapshot with multiple children will
require block-stream which is not implemented for now.

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.
