Pavel Hrdina 5488ff4773 virtManager: add support to create external snapshots 
Add new 2 rows into the snapshotsnew windows, one to select if the
snapshot mode is `internal` or `external` and memory state location when
making external snapshot for running VM.

We will check if libvirt fully supports external snapshots by consulting
host capabilities and add `external` to snapshot mode only if it is
supported.

For external snapshots the memory state is stored in separate file but
libvirt doesn't have any default location so virtManager will get path
to all usable disks and create a dropdown menu for it, but user is still
allowed to modify that path to use whatever path they prefer.

Virtual Machine Manager

virt-manager is a graphical tool for managing virtual machines via libvirt. Most usage is with QEMU/KVM virtual machines, but Xen and libvirt LXC containers are well supported. Common operations for any libvirt driver should work.

Several command line tools are also provided:

  • virt-install: Create new libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-clone: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-xml: Edit existing libvirt virtual machines/manipulate libvirt XML

For dependency info and installation instructions, see the INSTALL.md file. If you just want to quickly test the code from a git checkout, you can launch any of the commands like:

./virt-manager --debug ...
