qemu: checkpoint: Forbid creating checkpoints until we support backups

Browse Source 
Checkpoints by themselves are not very useful for anything else than
testing the few bitmap interactions that are currently implemented.

It's very unlikely that anybody used this feature and thus we can
disable it until we have a more complete implementation ready.

Additionally the code for deleting checkpoints has many broken failure
scenarios which should be fixed first. This will require support of
deleting a bitmap in a qemu 'transaction' which was not released yet.

Curious users obviously can use the qemu namespace in the XML to enable
this for experiments:

  <domain type='kvm' xmlns:qemu='http://libvirt.org/schemas/domain/qemu/1.0'>
    ...
    <qemu:capabilities>
      <qemu:add capability='incremental-backup'/>
    </qemu:capabilities>
  </domain>
