[libvirt] [PATCH] storage: add RBD support to disk source pool translation

Hello, We needed this to avoid redundancies when defining domains with RBD backends, because monitor list and authentication secret could not be pulled from the storage pool. I didn't find any bit of documentation to update, actually it already implies that disks with source type 'volume' would work with all kinds of backing pools. But mpath, sheepdog, and gluster would still require an implementation if it's possible. Using RBD volumes this way still has a limitation, we cannot list snapshots in libvirt pools. Whereas they could be accessed read-only if the domain is using a network source explicitely with a 'snapshot' attribute. How could we implement this so that snapshots are seen as pool volumes? There are real use-cases for this like attaching to a VM a backup from it's own disks. Also it would work the same way with ZFS snapshots, but AFAIK not for LVM pools.
