savevm: Really verify if a drive supports snapshots

Both bdrv_can_snapshot() and bdrv_has_snapshot() does not work as advertized.

First issue: Their names implies different porpouses, but they do the same thing
and have exactly the same code. Maybe copied and pasted and forgotten?
bdrv_has_snapshot() is called in various places for actually checking if there
is snapshots or not.

Second issue: the way bdrv_can_snapshot() verifies if a block driver supports or
not snapshots does not catch all cases. E.g.: a raw image.

So when do_savevm() is called, first thing it does is to set a global
BlockDriverState to save the VM memory state calling get_bs_snapshots().

static BlockDriverState *get_bs_snapshots(void)
{
    BlockDriverState *bs;
    DriveInfo *dinfo;

    if (bs_snapshots)
        return bs_snapshots;
    QTAILQ_FOREACH(dinfo, &drives, next) {
        bs = dinfo->bdrv;
        if (bdrv_can_snapshot(bs))
            goto ok;
    }
    return NULL;
 ok:
    bs_snapshots = bs;
    return bs;
}

bdrv_can_snapshot() may return a BlockDriverState that does not support
snapshots and do_savevm() goes on.

Later on in do_savevm(), we find:

    QTAILQ_FOREACH(dinfo, &drives, next) {
        bs1 = dinfo->bdrv;
        if (bdrv_has_snapshot(bs1)) {
            /* Write VM state size only to the image that contains the state */
            sn->vm_state_size = (bs == bs1 ? vm_state_size : 0);
            ret = bdrv_snapshot_create(bs1, sn);
            if (ret < 0) {
                monitor_printf(mon, "Error while creating snapshot on '%s'\n",
                               bdrv_get_device_name(bs1));
            }
        }
    }

bdrv_has_snapshot(bs1) is not checking if the device does support or has
snapshots as explained above. Only in bdrv_snapshot_create() the device is
actually checked for snapshot support.

So, in cases where the first device supports snapshots, and the second does not,
the snapshot on the first will happen anyways. I believe this is not a good
behavior. It should be an all or nothing process.

This patch addresses these issues by making bdrv_can_snapshot() actually do
what it must do and enforces better tests to avoid errors in the middle of
do_savevm(). bdrv_has_snapshot() is removed and replaced by bdrv_can_snapshot()
where appropriate.

bdrv_can_snapshot() was moved from savevm.c to block.c. It makes more sense to me.

The loadvm_state() function was updated too to enforce that when loading a VM at
least all writable devices must support snapshots too.
