Description

This converts our snapshot code to use C++ standard types, with the notable exception of QDateTime. (While that wouldn't be hard to convert as well, I think it would make more sense to do all the QDateTime conversion in a separate PR.)

Testing

  • Unit tests are all updated to account for these changes
  • Manual testing instructions:
    • Start the multipass daemon: sudo ./bin/multipassd
    • Launch an instance: ./bin/multipass launch --name foo
    • Stop the instance and take a snapshot: ./bin/multipass stop foo && ./bin/multipass snapshot foo
    • (optional) Start the instance and do some stuff, then stop it again
    • Restore the snapshot and verify that it's in the correct state

Nice work deQting the codebase Jim! Just a small question about vm_name, but the rest looks good to go 👍

Strictly speaking, should we not move this QString to std::string as well?
