Creates a snapshot of a disk.

You need to pass `zone` or `region` parameter relevant to the disk you want to
snapshot, but not both. Pass `zone` parameter for zonal disks and `region` for
regional disks.

@param {string} projectId - Project ID or project number of the Cloud project you want to use.
@param {string} diskName - Name of the disk you want to snapshot.
@param {string} snapshotName - Name of the snapshot to be created.
@param {string} zone - Name of the zone in which is the disk you want to snapshot (for zonal disks).
@param {string} region - Name of the region in which is the disk you want to snapshot (for regional disks).
@param {string} location - The Cloud Storage multi-region or the Cloud Storage region where you
  want to store your snapshot.
  You can specify only one storage location. Available locations:
  https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/locations#available-locations
@param {string} diskProjectId - project ID or project number of the Cloud project that
  hosts the disk you want to snapshot. If not provided, will look for
  the disk in the `project_id` project.
