Currently it is required to execute fsfreeze command manually before
taking snapshots of active instances, otherwise the snapshot may be
inconsistent. When qemu-guest-agent is installed in a kvm instance,
we can request the instance to fsfreeze via libvirt's fsFreeze API
which is introduced in libvirt 1.2.5. To utilize this feature,
the image metadata must have 'os_require_quiesce=yes' property.
'hw_qemu_guest_agent=yes' is also needed to enable qemu-guest-agent.
