cpus: stop vm in suspended runstate

Currently, a vm in the suspended state is not completely stopped.  The VCPUs
have been paused, but the cpu clock still runs, and runstate notifiers for
the transition to stopped have not been called.  This causes problems for
live migration.  Stale cpu timers_state is saved to the migration stream,
causing time errors in the guest when it wakes from suspend, and state that
would have been modified by runstate notifiers is wrong.

Modify vm_stop to completely stop the vm if the current state is suspended,
transition to RUN_STATE_PAUSED, and remember that the machine was suspended.
Modify vm_start to restore the suspended state.

This affects all callers of vm_stop and vm_start, notably, the qapi stop and
cont commands:

  old behavior:
    RUN_STATE_SUSPENDED --> stop --> RUN_STATE_SUSPENDED

  new behavior:
    RUN_STATE_SUSPENDED --> stop --> RUN_STATE_PAUSED
    RUN_STATE_PAUSED    --> cont --> RUN_STATE_SUSPENDED

For example:

    (qemu) info status
    VM status: paused (suspended)

    (qemu) stop
    (qemu) info status
    VM status: paused

    (qemu) system_wakeup
    Error: Unable to wake up: guest is not in suspended state

    (qemu) cont
    (qemu) info status
    VM status: paused (suspended)

    (qemu) system_wakeup
    (qemu) info status
    VM status: running
