[Feature Request] Add snapshot support #62

Description

@jk779

It would be very useful if VirtualOS had support for VM snapshots, or at least a simple "restore to clean state" option.

My use case is mostly trying software that I don’t want to install on my main macOS system. For example, apps with large installers, beta versions, tools that change system settings, or software I only need once.

The ideal workflow would be:

  1. Start off with a clean VM
  2. Take a snapshot
  3. Install/test whatever I need/break it
  4. Revert the VM afterwards

Right now the alternatives are either keeping multiple copies of a VM, manually cleaning things up, or recreating the VM from scratch after a while.

Even support for just one snapshot per VM would already solve this for me.

VirtualOS is a very nice lightweight App, thanks for creating it! :)
