backup: Introduce virDomainCheckpointPtr
Prepare for introducing a bunch of new public APIs related to
backup checkpoints by first introducing a new internal type
and errors associated with that type. Checkpoints are modeled
heavily after virDomainSnapshotPtr (both represent a point in
time of the guest), although a snapshot exists with the intent
of rolling back to that state, while a checkpoint exists to
make it possible to create an incremental backup at a later
time.
