[PATCH v5 4/4] blockcommit: turn on active commit

[Eric Blake <eblake@xxxxxxxxxx>]

With this in place, I can (finally!) now do:

virsh blockcommit $dom vda --shallow --verbose --pivot

and watch qemu shorten the backing chain by one, followed by
libvirt automatically updating the dumpxml output, effectively
undoing the work of virsh snapshot-commit --no-metadata --disk-only.
Commit is SOOOO much faster than blockpull, when I'm still fairly
close in time to when the temporary qcow2 wrapper file was created
via a snapshot operation!

* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainBlockCommit): Implement live
commit.
