[libvirt] [PATCHv3 37/43] snapshot: add flag for requesting disk snapshot

Prior to this patch, <domainsnapshot>/<disks> was ignored.  This
changes it to be an error unless an explicit disk snapshot is
requested (a future patch may relax things if it turns out to
be useful to have a <disks> specification alongside a system
checkpoint).

* include/libvirt/libvirt.h.in
(VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_CREATE_DISK_ONLY): New flag.
* src/libvirt.c (virDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Document it.
* src/esx/esx_driver.c (esxDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Disk
snapshots not supported yet.
* src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c (vboxDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Likewise.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateXML): Likewise.
