snapshots: Avoid term 'checkpoint' for full system snapshot

Upcoming patches plan to introduce virDomainCheckpointPtr as a new
object for use in incremental backups, along with documentation on
how incremental backups differ from snapshots.  But first, we need
to rename any existing mention of a 'system checkpoint' to instead
be a 'full system snapshot', so that we aren't overloading
the term checkpoint.
