Eric Blake af65695af0 snapshot: allow recreation of metadata 
The first two flags are essential for being able to replicate
snapshot hierarchies across multiple hosts, which will come in
handy for supervised migrations.  It also allows a management app
to take a snapshot of a transient domain, save the metadata, stop
the domain, recreate a new transient domain by the same name,
redefine the snapshot, then revert to it.

This is not quite as convenient as leaving the metadata behind
after a domain is no longer around, but doing that has a few
problems: 1. the libvirt API can only delete snapshot metadata
if there is a valid domain handle to use to get to that snapshot
object - if stale data is left behind without a domain, there is
no way to request that the data be cleaned up. 2. creating a new
domain with the same name but different uuid than the older
domain where a snapshot existed cannot use the older snapshot
data; this risks confusing libvirt, and forbidding the stale
data is similar to the recent patch to forbid stale managed save.

The first two flags might be useful on hypervisors with no metadata,
but only for modifying the notion of the current snapshot;
however, I don't know how to do that for ESX or VBox.

The third flag is a convenience option, to combine a creation with
a delete metadata into one step.  It is trivial for hypervisors
with no metadata.

The qemu changes will be involved enough to warrant a separate patch.
