Leak introduced in commit 0436d32. If we allocate an actions array,
but fail early enough to never consume it with the qemu monitor
transaction call, we leaked memory.
But our semantics of making the transaction command free the caller's
memory is awkward; avoiding the memory leak requires making every
intermediate function in the call chain check for error. It is much
easier to fix things so that the function that allocates also frees,
while the call chain leaves the caller's data intact. To do that,
I had to hack our JSON data structure to make it easy to protect a
portion of an arbitrary JSON tree from being freed.
* src/util/json.h (VIR_JSON_TYPE_PROTECT): New marker.
* src/util/json.c (virJSONValueFree): Use it to protect a portion
of an array.
(virJSONParserInsertValue, virJSONValueToStringOne): Sanity
checking.
* src/qemu/qemu_monitor_json.c (qemuMonitorJSONTransaction): Avoid
freeing caller's data.
* src/qemu/qemu_driver.c (qemuDomainSnapshotCreateDiskActive):
Free actions array on failure.

v2: fix the problem correctly (v1 still had a latent leak in
qemu_monitor.c:qemuMonitorTransaction() if it were ever called with
a text monitor)
Okay, so v1 was minimal, and v2 is 18 times more lines of diff,
but I like this version better, as it makes it so I don't have
to think as hard in the future when I add more code that uses
transaction.
