The test case validates the core lifecycle operations on
persistent domains with snapshots. A persistent domain
should allow snapshots to be created&  deleted while both
running and shutoff.

This test is good, but could use more coverage - you need to test the following 9 transitions, to be sure we covered everything (because my series proved we had bugs in multiple of these transitions):

current -> snapshot state
------------------
shutoff -> shutoff
shutoff -> paused (0.9.4 buggy - it temporarily ran the vcpus, rather than restoring to the exact state where the paused snapshot was created)
shutoff -> running
paused -> shutoff (0.9.4 buggy with newer qemu, because it tried to use qemu -loadvm with no vm state)
paused  -> paused
paused  -> running  (0.9.4 buggy - it left the restored domain paused)
running -> shutoff (0.9.4 buggy with newer qemu, because it tried to use qemu -loadvm with no vm state)
running -> paused
running -> running

It becomes 12 transitions when you add disk snapshots into the series, and once I implement VIR_DOMAIN_SNAPSHOT_REVERT_{START,PAUSED,FORCE}, we have even more combinations.

It should forbid undefine of the
domain when it has snapshots present.

This only creates 2 of the 3 needed snapshots to fully exercise the possible 9 transitions.

Also, I don't see any tests of reverting to a snapshot state - you appear to be testing the management of creation and deletion of snapshots, but not reversion.
