[libvirt] [PATCH v10 19/19] backup: Prevent snapshots and checkpoints at same time

Earlier patches mentioned that the initial implementation will prevent
snapshots and checkpoints from being used on the same domain at once.
However, the actual restriction is done in this separate patch to make
it easier to lift that restriction via a revert, when we are finally
ready to tackle that integration in the future.
