The notion of blindly overwriting the existing snapshot of the same name
seems a bit dangerous; should we take this opportunity to enhance the
command, and add a force flag, where things fail if the flag is false
but the name already exists, and where the reuse only happens if the
flag is present? (In fact, it would make my life in libvirt easier, as
I have an action item to make libvirt reject attempts to create a
snapshot with tag named '1' if an existing snapshot already has an id of
'1'.)

Fix that.

I know the HMP command is short, for ease of typing; but since 'savevm'
is not an English word, should we name the QMP command 'save-vm'?
