I'd forbid the DIR type altogether with quorums.

Error can be returned right away since there is nothing to clean up.

'children' is the proper plural

This won't work if the quorum would be after an intermediate layer.
That's why this needs the internal backing chain tracking.

This is rather ugly. Since qemuBuildDriveStr skips the quorum storage
sources rather accidentally as they appear "empty" to the
virStorageSourceIsEmpty function. If you want/need to have a different
function you should make it explicit how the code is formatting the
source.

Additionally once the quorum disk won't be on top, sice you for example
created a snapshot on top of the quorum unified device, then this code
will terribly break since qemuBuildQuorumStr will never be called.

As I've explained in a previous patch, quorums will need libvirt to do
the houskeeping of the whole backing chain internally since it cannot be
recreated that easily.
