qemu: Warn of restore with managed save being risky
Internal snapshots of a non-running domain do not carry any memory state and restoring such a snapshot will not replace existing saved memory state. This allows a scenario, where a user first suspends a domain into managedsave, restores a non-running snapshot and then resumes the domain from managedsave. After that, the guest system will run with its previous memory state atop a different disk state. The most obvious possible fallout from this is extensive file system corruption. Swap content and RAID bitmaps might also be off. This has been discussed[1] and fixed[2] from the end-user perspective for virt-manager. This patch marks the restore operation as risky at the libvirt level, requiring the user to remove the saved memory state first or force the operation.
