Libvirt is supposed to already have code that refuses an internal
snapshot on non-qcow2 files. We must have broken this somewhere in the
recent past. It would be nice to figure out why
qemuDomainSnapshotPrepare() is failing to do a proper job before we take
this patch. :(

At any rate, this patch makes sense, once we _also_ solve the root cause
of why we are getting here in the first place.
