[libvirt] [PATCHv3.5 02/43] snapshot: improve reverting to qemu paused snapshots

If you take a checkpoint snapshot of a running domain, then pause
qemu, then restore the snapshot, the result should be a running
domain, but the code was leaving things paused.  Furthermore, if
you take a checkpoint of a paused domain, then run, then restore,
there was a brief but non-deterministic window of time where the
domain was running rather than paused.  Fix both of these
discrepancies by always pausing before restoring.

Also, check that the VM is active every time lock is dropped
between two monitor calls.

Finally, straighten out the events that get emitted on each
transition.

* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainRevertToSnapshot): Always
pause before reversion, and improve events.
---

v2: rebase state transitions on top of updated patch 1/43, and
add lots of helpful comments :)
