Add VIR_STORAGE_FILE_PLOOP format. This format is used
to store disk images for virtual machines in PCS and containers
in PCS, OpenVZ and also in Parallels Desktop for Mac.
This format is described on OpenVZ site -
https://openvz.org/Ploop (together with ploop devices). It
consists of XML descriptor and one or more image files: base
image and deltas. Format of the image files described here:
https://openvz.org/Ploop/format.
Hmm, so 'ploop' now refers to both a kernel device driver
and also an image format ? I thought that historically
'ploop' was just a device driver, which in turn would
support raw or qcow2, or <blah> image formats ?
