Disable external snapshot of readonly disk for inactive domains
as this operation is not very useful. As to active domains
such snapshot was not possible before already but error message was
not helpful so now it will be better.

Such a snapshot is not possible for active domains but the error message from QEMU is more cryptic: error: internal error: unable to execute QEMU command 'transaction': Could not create file: Permission denied This error at least makes the error more understandable for active domains and disallows for inactive domains as well.
