feat(instances): external snapshots use libvirt's snapshot API

Create, revert and delete are one libvirt call each. The pflash-to-rom
loader rewrite, the hand-written block commit and the s1./s2. names are
gone, so UEFI VMs can take external snapshots, a revert keeps disks added
later, and deleting an older snapshot keeps the newer one.

Create refuses what libvirt could not revert or delete later: internal
snapshots on the VM, a saved state, a running snapshot job, disks that
are not files, CD-ROM media, a branch after a revert, and memory without
a running VM or room in the first disk's pool. A disk-only revert keeps
the VM running, paused or shut off; one with memory resumes it as saved.
A revert in the same second as the previous one, which libvirt fails
after stopping the VM, is retried once.
A snapshot the old code took of a UEFI VM saved the loader as rom; its
revert is refused (deleting it still works).

The snapshots tab lists internal and external snapshots separately, can
save memory too, shows running snapshot jobs, and the revert confirmation
names the disks it detaches and that NVRAM is not restored.

- gstfsd finds the guest's operating system the way libguestfs inspects it, so a root on LVM works, and it always answers (an error when it finds no or several operating systems). Update `/usr/local/bin/gstfsd` on every compute (see [Adding a Compute Node](#adding-a-compute-node), step 3).
- A theme picked on the Settings page rewrites two tracked files; the update and rollback steps put back the shipped theme. Pick yours again afterwards, also after Docker recreates the container.
- With the bundled nginx config, browsers revalidate static files on each load (304 when unchanged), so an update or a theme change shows without a hard reload. Files cached before this update can stay until a hard reload (Ctrl+F5) of each affected page, or until the site's browser cache is cleared once; an external caching proxy may need a purge.
- External snapshots use libvirt's snapshot API and need libvirt 9.9 or newer on the compute hosts. They work on UEFI VMs and running, paused or shut-off VMs, can save memory too, and a revert keeps disks added later (it detaches them). A VM's snapshots form one chain: after a revert, delete the newer snapshots before taking another. Snapshot names no longer get an `s1.` prefix; existing ones keep theirs and can still be reverted and deleted, except that a snapshot an older version took of a UEFI VM can only be deleted.
- Docker no longer publishes port 6080; the console goes through nginx on the panel's port (`WS_PUBLIC_PORT`, default 80).
