[libvirt] [PATCH 3/4] qemu: snapshot: Forbid empty snapshots

If neither disks nor memory are selected for snapshot we'd record
metadata in case of external snapshot and do a disk snapshot in case of
external disk snapshot. Forbid this as it doesn't make much sense.

Notes:
    There's a slightly usable case where this would be used to backup domain's config.
