template: add -snapshot to KVM command

this allows effectively setting ALL volumes as read-only, even if the
disk controller does not support it. without it, IDE and SATA disks
with (base) volumes which are marked read-only/immutable on the storage
level prevent the template VM from starting for backup purposes.
