[libvirt] [PATCH 1/2] qemu: Conditionally allow block-copy for persistent domains

Allow starting the block-copy job for a persistent domain if a user
declares by using a flag that the job will not be recovered if the VM is
switched off while the job is active.

This allows to use the block-copy job with persistent VMs under the same
conditions as would apply to transient domains.
