Prepare for introducing a bunch of new public APIs related to
backup checkpoints by first introducing a new internal type
and errors associated with that type.  Checkpoints are modeled
heavily after virDomainSnapshotPtr (both represent a point in
time of the guest), although a snapshot exists with the intent
of rolling back to that state, while a checkpoint exists to
make it possible to create an incremental backup at a later
time.

What is invalid checkpoint? It would be nice if there would not be

Also the comment does not add anything.
