Expose named create, list, restore, and delete operations through AppleScript and utmctl so automation can manage QEMU full-VM snapshots. QEMU image metadata remains the source of truth, the internal suspend snapshot stays hidden and reserved, and Apple virtualization reports the feature as unsupported until it can preserve equivalent VM state reliably.
