[libvirt] [RFC PATCH 00/10] introduce push backups

Push backup is a backup when hypervisor itself copy backup data to destination in contrast to pull backup when hypervisor exports backup data thru some interface and mgmt itself make a copy. This patch series basically adds API and remote/qemu implementation of backup creation and correspondent backup xml description definition. Just like other blockjobs backup creation is asynchronous. That is creation is merely a backup start and client should track backup error/completion thru blockjob events. Another option is to make backup synchronus operation. AFAIU on this way we have to make backup asynchronus job and thus make all modifying commands unavailable during backup. This makes backup rather obtrusive operation which is not convinient. Backup xml desription follows closely snapshot one and is described in more details in definition patch [1].
