As an extension to #184, implement VM snapshot export and import. Mostly, this will involve porting the current VM backup/restore functionality to act with the snapshots, rather than this functionality implicitly creating said snapshots. Eventual goal is to work this functionality towards #169 to permit direct cross-cluster export/import.

This functionality has now been implemented, due for release in 0.9.99. 5 commands are now present:

  1. pvc vm snapshot create will create a snapshot, either an automatic datestring or a name.
  2. pvc vm snapshot remove will remove a snapshot.
  3. pvc vm snapshot rollback will roll back a (stopped) VM to the given snapshot.
  4. pvc vm snapshot exportwill export a snapshot to a given path (on the primary coordinator).
  5. pvc vm snapshot import will import a snapshot from a given path (on the primary coordinator).

All 5 are implemented as pvcworkerd commands due to their runtime and to provide progress feedback in the CLI client.
