[libvirt] [PATCH v3 16/18] qemu: snapshot: Skip overlay file creation/interogation if unsupported

[Peter Krempa]

With blockdev we'll be able to support protocols which are not supported
by the storage backends in libvirt. This means that we have to be able
to skip the creation and relative storage path reading if it's not
supported. This will make it impossible to use relative backing for
network protocols but that would be almost insane anyways.
