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

Today, qemu-ga may not be able to emit a success response when
guest-suspend-ram completes. This happens because the VM may
suspend 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-ram to
never emit a success response and suggests in the documentation
what clients should do to check for success.

# command. Thus, it's *required* to query QEMU for the presence of the
# 'system_wakeup' command before issuing guest-suspend-ram.
#
# Returns: nothing on success
# This command does NOT return a response on success. There are two options
# to check for success:
# 1. Wait for the SUSPEND QMP event from QEMU
# 2. Issue the query-status QMP command to confirm the VM status is
# "suspended"
#
# The following errors may be returned:
# If suspend to ram is not supported, Unsupported
#
# Notes: o This is an asynchronous request. There's no guarantee a response
# will be sent
# o It's strongly recommended to issue the guest-sync command before
# sending commands when the guest resumes
# Notes: It's strongly recommended to issue the guest-sync command before
