Took a little while to think about this one - but essentially because
LOCATION_NONE is being set when src->readonly (during XML parse) or when
virStorageSourceIsEmpty during virDomainSnapshotAlignDisks, that means
essentially that using LOCATION_NONE is "proper" for those disks and
thus if we find LOCATION_NONE that means we didn't set it that way and
thus the forbid_internal needs to be set.

ACK -

John
