Description
This PR introduces a new strategy for implementing incremental snapshots for clvm-ng
Stopped VM case:
Running VM case:
overwrites get copied to the snapshot's CoW space first.
The trade-off vs the stopped path: because the active LV is never replaced with a fresh one, its QCOW2 cluster table accumulates all writes over its lifetime. Each export captures those accumulated writes, so
snapshots grow over time rather than being truly minimal deltas. The data is always correct, just potentially larger than necessary.
