Introduce a few more new virsh commands for performing backup jobs, as
well as creating a checkpoint atomically with a snapshot.
At this time, I did not opt for a convenience command
'backup-begin-as' that cobbles together appropriate XML from the
user's command line arguments, but that may be a viable future
extension. Similarly, since backup is a potentially long-running
operation, it might be nice to add some sugar that automatically
handles waiting for the job to end, rather than making the user have
to poll or figure out virsh event to do the same.

+Begin a new backup job, and output the resulting job id on success. If
+I<xmlfile> is omitted, this defaults to a full backup using a push
+model to filenames generated by libvirt; supplying XML allows
+fine-tuning such as requesting an incremental backup relative to an
+earlier checkpoint, controlling which disks participate or which
+filenames are involved, or requesting the use of a pull model backup.
+The B<backup-dumpxml> command shows any resulting values assigned by
+libvirt. For more information on backup XML, see:
+L<https://libvirt.org/formatbackup.html>.
+
+If I<checkpointxml> is specified, a second file with a top-level
+element of <domaincheckpoint> is used to create a simultaneous
+checkpoint, for doing a later incremental backup relative to the time
+the snapshot was created. If I<--no-metadata> is specified, then the
+checkpoint is created, but any metadata is immediately discarded. See
+B<checkpoint-create> for more details on checkpoints.
+
+If I<--quiesce> is specified, libvirt will try to use guest agent
+to freeze and unfreeze domain's mounted file systems. However,
+if domain has no guest agent, the backup job will fail.

+the background; the progress of a push model backup can be checked

+progress of a pull model backup is under the control of whatever third
+party connects to the NBD export). The job is ended with B<block-end>.
