[libvirt] [RFC v1] API to invoke S3/S4 on a KVM host and also resume from within libvirt

This patch adds a new API to put a KVM host to a suspended state
(either Suspend-to-RAM or Suspend-to-Disk) and also resume the host
back from within libvirt. This uses the RTC wakeup mechanism to set
up a timer alarm before suspending the host, so that in-band resume
is facilitated since the firing of the RTC alarm wakes up the host.
The decision to use the RTC Wakeup mechanism to resume the host from
sleep was taken in [1]. An initial API was discussed in [2].
Some design ideas for the asynchronous mechanism implementation was
discussed in [3].
Todo:
1. During libvirtd init time check if S3/S4 is supported by the host.
2. Add synchronization/locking to ensure that only one suspend operation
is active at a time.
