When issuing the qmp/hmp 'system_wakeup' command, what happens in a
nutshell is:

- qmp_system_wakeup_request set runstate to RUNNING, sets a wakeup_reason
and notify the event
- in the main_loop, all vcpus are paused, a system reset is issued, all
subscribers of wakeup_notifiers receives a notification, vcpus are then
resumed and the wake up QAPI event is fired

Note that this procedure alone doesn't ensure that the guest will awake
from SUSPENDED state - the subscribers of the wake up event must take
action to resume the guest, otherwise the guest will simply reboot.

At this moment there are only two subscribers of the wake up event: one
in hw/acpi/core.c and another one in hw/i386/xen/xen-hvm.c. This means
that system_wakeup does not work as intended with other architectures.

However, only the presence of 'system_wakeup' is required for QGA to
support 'guest-suspend-ram' and 'guest-suspend-hybrid' at this moment.
This means that the user/management will expect to suspend the guest using
one of those suspend commands and then resume execution using system_wakeup,
regardless of the support offered in system_wakeup in the first place.

This patch implements a new QMP command called
'query-wakeup-from-suspend-support' that allows the caller to query
if the guest supports wake up from suspend via system_wakeup. It
goes over the subscribers of the wake up event and, if it's empty,
it assumes that the guest does not support wake up from suspend
(and thus, pm-suspend itself).

This is the expected output of the command when running a x86 guest:

{"execute" : "query-wakeup-from-suspend-support"}
{"return": {"enabled": true}}

This is the output when running a pseries guest:

{"execute" : "query-wakeup-from-suspend-support"}
{"return": {"enabled": false}}

With this extra tool, management can avoid situations where a guest
that does not have proper suspend/wake capabilities ends up in
inconsistent state (e.g.
https://github.com/open-power-host-os/qemu/issues/31).

Do we really need a new command, or can we add it as an additional field
to an existing command (for example, in MachineInfo under
query-machines, or TargetInfo under query-target)?

A new QMP command was the first idea that crossed my mind but yeah, adding
the info to an existing command is also valid IMO.

After investigating, I think that it's simpler to hook the wakeup 
support info into TargetInfo
than MachineInfo, given that the detection I'm using for this new 
property is based
on the current runtime state. Hooking into MachineInfo would require to 
change the
MachineClass to add a new property, then setting it up for the machines 
that have
the wakeup support (only x86 so far). Definitely doable, but if we don't 
have any
favorites between MachineInfo and TargetInfo I'd rather pick the simpler 
route.

So, if no one objects, I'll rework this series by putting the logic 
inside query-target
instead of a new API.
