Domain snapshots should only permit an external snapshot into
a storage format that permits a backing chain, since the new
snapshot file necessarily must be backed by the existing file.
The C code for the qemu driver is a little bit stricter in
currently enforcing only qcow2 or qed, but at the XML parser
level, including virt-xml-validate, it is fairly easy to
enforce that a user can't request a 'raw' external snapshot.
* docs/schemas/storagecommon.rng (storageFormat): Split out...
(storageFormatBacking): ...new sublist.
* docs/schemas/domainsnapshot.rng (disksnapshotdriver): Use new
type.
* src/util/virstoragefile.h (virStorageFileFormat): Rearrange for
easier code management.
* src/util/virstoragefile.c (virStorageFileFormat, fileTypeInfo):
Likewise.
* src/conf/snapshot_conf.c (virDomainSnapshotDiskDefParseXML): Use
new marker to limit selection of formats.
