Adds documentation for the <snapshotDeleteInProgress/> element to the libvirt snapshot format XML reference. The <snapshotDeleteInProgress/> element, introduced at commit 565bcb5d79, ensures the consistency of qcow2 images during snapshot deletion operations by marking disks in snapshot metadata as invalid until deletion is successfully completed.
