snapshot create/delete: die early for snapshot-as-volume-chain for pre-10.0 machine version

As reported in the community forum [0], a running VM with pre-10.0
machine version using a storage with snapshot-as-volume-chain will run
into issues when creating a snapshot. Similarly deleting the snapshot
of such a VM would fail. Having '-blockdev' is a hard requirement for
the implementation of the snapshot-as-volume-chain feature for running
VMs, so die and suggest upgrading the machine version.
