Noticed when testing new libvirt against old qemu that lacked the

just-created 0-byte file, rendering the domain broken on restart.

* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_text.c (qemuMonitorTextDiskSnapshot):
Notice another possible error message.

Phooey - testing reveals that this fixes the main problem (the command now fails with a nice error without corrupting the domain xml:

# virsh snapshot-create --disk-only dom
error: operation failed: Failed to take snapshot: unknown command: 'snapshot_blkdev'

), but isn't quite perfect (the 0-byte file is still left behind). v2 coming up soon.
