storage: qemu: Fix security labelling of new image chain elements

When creating a disk image snapshot the libvirt code would blindly copy
the parents label to the newly created image. This runs into problems
when you start a VM from an image hosted on NFS (or other storage system
that doesn't support selinux labels) and the snapshot destination is on
a storage system that does support selinux labels. Libvirt's code in
that case generates a different security label for the image hosted on
NFS. This label is valid only for NFS images and doesn't allow access in
case of a locally stored image.

To fix this issue libvirt needs to refrain from copying security
information in cases where the default domain seclabel is a better
choice.

This patch repurposes the now unused @force argument of
virStorageSourceInitChainElement to denote whether a copy of the
security labelling stuff should be attempted or not. This allows to
fine-control the copy operation for cases where we need to keep the
label of the old disk vs. the cases where we need to keep the label
unset to use the default domain imagelabel.
