On config creation, a new dataset is created (`.snapshots`) that will store snapshots information and a symlink to the snapshot in the `.zfs` directory. This dataset is destroyed on config deletion. Due to a ZFS “limitations”, snapshots can only be created read-only and cannot be derived from a parent. This is based on the initial idea and work of Daniel Sullivan (mumblepins). Implements openSUSE#145.
