Jiri Denemark 0c842417ef Allow suspend during live migration
Currently no command can be sent to a qemu process while another job is
active. This patch adds support for signaling long-running jobs (such as
migration) so that other threads may request predefined operations to be
done during such jobs. Two signals are defined so far:
    - QEMU_JOB_SIGNAL_CANCEL
    - QEMU_JOB_SIGNAL_SUSPEND

The first one is used by qemuDomainAbortJob.

The second one is used by qemudDomainSuspend for suspending a domain
during migration, which allows for changing live migration into offline
migration. However, there is a small issue in the way qemudDomainSuspend
is currently implemented for migrating domains. The API calls returns
immediately after signaling migration job which means it is asynchronous
in this specific case.
