Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 1/2] test_driver: implement virDomainManagedSaveGetXMLDesc

The managedSave APIs according to the documentation are supposed to operate on a disk file. However, this might not be appropriate in the case of the test driver since: * It's better if the test driver keeps all its state in memory only and doesn't affect the host in any way. * The test driver, apart from "emulating" the domains, it additionally "emulates" a fake physical host. Every time we start a new test connection that sort of means that a new physical host is created as well. And this fake host isn't necessarily the same. What we can do instead is operating on the already existing domain definitions. So along as a connection remains open, a domain can preserve the managed state between different shutdown / create calls. When the test connection closes this means that the fake host is destroyed as well, hence no other state is preserved after that.

This way we also make sure that we don't touch the real host's filesystem.
