guest- prefix is uncontroversial
command_group is 'fsfreeze'.
Currently in that group are the verbs 'status', 'freeze', and 'thaw';
and my proposal is to add 'list' (not 'freeze-list') as the new verb
(just as we don't have 'freeze-status' as a verb).

Oh, and adding this command to freeze by list may require a change to
the existing guest-fsfreeze-status command to report a third enum value
of 'partial' (neither fully 'thawed' nor fully 'frozen').
