Subject: libxc sr min_remaining

tools: add --min_remaining to libxl_domain_suspend

The decision to stop+move a domU to the new host must be based on two factors:
- the available network bandwidth for the migration stream
- the maximum time a workload within a domU can be savely suspended

Both values define how many dirty pages a workload may produce prior the
final stop+move.

The default value of 50 pages is much too low with todays network bandwidths.
On an idle 1GiB link these 200K will be transferred within ~2ms.

Give the admin a knob to adjust the point when the final stop+move will
be done, so he can base this decision on his own needs.

This patch adjusts xl(1) and the libxl API.
External users check LIBXL_HAVE_DOMAIN_SUSPEND_PROPS for the availibility
of the new .min_remaining property.
