Our approach to snapshots without metadata was to insert them to the snapshot list and then later remove them from the list when the flag is present. This quirky logic was broken in a recent refactor of the snapshot code causing that the snapshot stayed inserted in the snapshot list. Recent refactor of the snapshot code didn't faithfully relocate this logic to the new function. Rather than attempting to restore the quirky logic of adding and then removing the object, don't add the snapshot into the list at all when the user doesn't want metadata. We achieve this by creating a temporary 'virDomainMomentObj' wrapper which is not inserted into the list and using that instead of calling virDomainSnapshotAssignDef.
