Luiz Capitulino 11d0f1255b qemu-ga: add guest-suspend-disk
As the command name implies, this command suspends the guest to disk.

The suspend operation is implemented by two functions: bios_supports_mode()
and guest_suspend(). Both functions are generic enough to be used by
other suspend modes (introduced by next commits).

Both functions will try to use the scripts provided by the pm-utils
package if it's available. If it's not available, a manual method,
which consists of directly writing to '/sys/power/state', will be used.

To reap terminated children, a new signal handler is installed in the
parent to catch SIGCHLD signals and a non-blocking call to waitpid()
is done to collect their exit statuses. The statuses, however, are
discarded.

The approach used to query the guest for suspend support deserves some
explanation. It's implemented by bios_supports_mode() and shown below:

  qemu-ga
     |
 create pipe
     |
   fork()
     -----------------
     |               |
     |               |
     |             fork()
     |               --------------------------
     |               |                        |
     |               |                        |
     |               |               exec('pm-is-supported')
     |               |
     |              wait()
     |       write exit status to pipe
     |              exit
     |
  read pipe

This might look complex, but the resulting code is quite simple.
The purpose of that approach is to allow qemu-ga to reap its children
(semi-)automatically from its SIGCHLD handler.

Implementing this the obvious way, that's, doing the exec() call from
the first child process, would force us to introduce a more complex way
to reap qemu-ga's children. Like registering PIDs to be reaped and
having a way to wait for them when returning their exit status to
qemu-ga is necessary. The approach explained above avoids that complexity.
