Removes something for good. Agents name what will be lost and wait for an explicit yes; a program should ask the same.

Description for the model

Deletes one snapshot of a virtual server (vServer), by its vserver_id and the snapshot_id from manitu_vserver_snapshot_list. The server keeps running as it is; only the state the snapshot holds is gone for good. Ask the customer for an explicit yes first, naming the snapshot by its date and note. Runs in the background: the answer is the workflow started (see pending_workflow_list of manitu_vserver_get for its progress). Refused with a conflict while another workflow runs on the vServer (blocked_by names it - wait for it, do not retry at once) or while it cannot be changed.
