Introduce a few more new public APIs related to incremental backups.
This builds on the previous notion of a checkpoint (without an
existing checkpoint, the new API is a full backup, differing from
virDomainBlockCopy in the point of time chosen and in operation on
multiple disks at once); and also allows creation of a new checkpoint
at the same time as starting the backup (after all, an incremental
backup is only useful if it covers the state since the previous
backup). Snapshot creation is also a point in time at which creating
a checkpoint atomically can be useful. A backup job also affects
filtering a listing of domains, as well as adding event reporting for
signaling when a push model backup completes (where the hypervisor
creates the backup); note that the pull model does not have an event
(starting the backup lets a third party access the data, and only the
third party knows when it is finished).
Since multiple backup jobs can be run in parallel in the future (well,
qemu doesn't support it yet, but we don't want to preclude the idea),
virDomainBackupBegin() returns a job id, which can also be queried by
virDomainListJobIds(), and this job id must be used for
virDomainBackupGetXMLDesc() and virDomainBackupEnd(). In the future,
we may also extend other jobs (migration as the default global job
impacting virDomainJobStats(), and the various block jobs) to all have
ids, where the existing APIs act like thin wrappers around more
powerful APIs that support a job id everywhere.
The full list of new API:
virDomainBackupBegin;
virDomainBackupEnd;
virDomainBackupGetXMLDesc;
virDomainListJobIds;
virDomainSnapshotCreateXML2;

+ *
+ * A backup job is mutually exclusive with domain migration
+ * (particularly when the job sets up an NBD export, since it is not
+ * possible to tell any NBD clients about a server migrating between
+ * hosts). For now, backup jobs are also mutually exclusive with any
+ * other block job on the same device, although this restriction may
+ * be lifted in a future release. Progress of the backup job can be
+ * tracked via virDomainGetJobStats(). The job remains active until a
+ * subsequent call to virDomainBackupEnd(), even if it no longer has
+ * anything to copy.
+ *
+ * This API differs from virDomainBlockCopy() because it can grab the
+ * state of more than one disk in parallel, and because the state is
+ * captured as of the start of the job, rather than the end.
+ *
+ * There are two fundamental backup approaches. The first, called a
+ * push model, instructs the hypervisor to copy the state of the guest
+ * disk to the designated storage destination (which may be on the
+ * local file system or a network device). In this mode, the
+ * hypervisor writes the content of the guest disk to the destination,
+ * then emits VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_JOB_COMPLETED when the backup is
+ * either complete or failed (the backup image is invalid if the job
+ * fails or virDomainBackupEnd() is used prior to the event being
+ * emitted).
+ *
+ * The second, called a pull model, instructs the hypervisor to expose
+ * the state of the guest disk over an NBD export. A third-party
+ * client can then connect to this export and read whichever portions
+ * of the disk it desires. In this mode, there is no event; libvirt
+ * has to be informed via virDomainBackupEnd() when the third-party
+ * NBD client is done and the backup resources can be released.
+ *
+ * The @diskXml parameter is optional but usually provided and
+ * contains details about the backup in the top-level element
+ * <domainbackup> , including which backup mode to use, whether the
+ * backup is incremental from a previous checkpoint, which disks
+ * participate in the backup, the destination for a push model backup,
+ * and the temporary storage and NBD server details for a pull model
+ * backup. If omitted, the backup attempts to default to a push mode
+ * full backup of all disks, where libvirt generates a filename for
+ * each disk by appending a suffix of a timestamp in seconds since the
+ * Epoch. virDomainBackupGetXMLDesc() can be called to learn actual
+ * values selected. For more information, see
+ * formatcheckpoint.html#BackupAttributes.
+ *
+ * The @checkpointXml parameter is optional; if non-NULL, then libvirt
+ * behaves as if virDomainCheckpointCreateXML() were called to create
+ * a checkpoint atomically covering the same point in time as the
+ * backup, using @checkpointXml and forwarding flags
