Eric Blake 0ea479f8f6 save: support qemu modifying xml on domain save/restore
With this, it is possible to update the path to a disk backing
image on either the save or restore action, without having to
binary edit the XML embedded in the state file.

This also modifies virDomainSave to output a smaller xml (only
the inactive xml, which is all the more virDomainRestore parses),
while still guaranteeing padding for most typical abi-compatible
xml replacements, necessary so that the next patch for
virDomainSaveImageDefineXML will not cause unnecessary
modifications to the save image file.

* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSaveInternal): Add parameter,
only use inactive state, and guarantee padding.
(qemuDomainSaveImageOpen): Add parameter.
(qemuDomainSaveFlags, qemuDomainManagedSave)
(qemuDomainRestoreFlags, qemuDomainObjRestore): Update callers.

         LibVirt : simple API for virtualization

  Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
