To make it clear about id and name in searching, add this API
to distinguish them. Caller can choose to search by id or name,
*errp will be set only for exception.

Some code are modified based on Pavel's patch.

Looks duplicated. How about:

    if (id || name) {
        for (i = 0; i < nb_sns; i++) {
            sn = &sn_tab[i];
            if ((!id || !strcmp(sn->id_str, id)) &&
                (!name || !strcmp(sn->name, name))) {
                *sn_info = *sn;
                ret = true;
                break;
            }
        }
    } else {
        abort();
    }

And why do we have to abort here? It is not completely nonsense to me to
return first snapshot with id == NULL and name == NULL.

   Less code, but slightly slower since more "if" inside "for". I think
three "for" also show more clear about judgement logic.

   Just to tip program error. An snapshot with id == NULL and name ==
NULL is not possible, isn't it?.

No I don't think if-in-for or for-in-if *here* makes any meaningful
difference in performance, if we really need it fast, we'd better sort the
list it first and binary search. And I don't see it clearer to duplicate
the same logic for three times, If I want to understand it, I need to
compare if#1 and if#2 to get they are the same, and then compare #2 and
#3 again, just to know that the three are no different.

   There is difference requiring reader think and extend it out into
three cases in his mind:
               if ((!id || !strcmp(sn->id_str, id)) &&
                   (!name || !strcmp(sn->name, name)))

It is a coding style issue, usually I don't mind to write more C lines 
to make things simple. Hope to get maintainer's idea.

If you respin, this would be a little clearer:

assert(id || name);

if (id && name) {
    ...
} else if (id) {
    ...
} else if (name) {
    ...
}

The advantage is that the assert(3) condition is included in the error
message that gets printed.
