qemu-ga: guest-suspend-disk: don't emit a success response

Browse Source 
Today, qemu-ga may not be able to emit a success response when
guest-suspend-disk completes. This happens because the VM may
vanish before qemu-ga is able to emit a response.

This semantic is a bit confusing, as it's not clear for clients if
they should wait for a response or how they should check for success.

This commit solves that problem by changing guest-suspend-disk to
never emit a success response and suggests in the documentation
what clients could do to check for success.

# Returns: nothing on success
# This command does NOT return a response on success. There is a high chance
# the command succeeded if the VM exits with a zero exit status or, when
# running with --no-shutdown, by issuing the query-status QMP command to
# to confirm the VM status is "shutdown". However, the VM could also exit
# (or set its status to "shutdown") due to other reasons.

# The following errors may be returned:
# If suspend to disk is not supported, Unsupported

# Notes: o This is an asynchronous request. There's no guarantee a response

# Notes: It's strongly recommended to issue the guest-sync command before
