PM / sleep: System sleep state selection interface rework

There are systems in which the platform doesn't support any special
sleep states, so suspend-to-idle (PM_SUSPEND_FREEZE) is the only
available system sleep state.  However, some user space frameworks
only use the "mem" and (sometimes) "standby" sleep state labels, so
the users of those systems need to modify user space in order to be
able to use system suspend at all and that may be a pain in practice.

Commit 0399d4db (PM / sleep: Introduce command line argument for
sleep state enumeration) attempted to address this problem by adding
a command line argument to change the meaning of the "mem" string in
/sys/power/state to make it trigger suspend-to-idle (instead of
suspend-to-RAM).

However, there also are systems in which the platform does support
special sleep states, but suspend-to-idle is the preferred one anyway
(it even may save more energy than the platform-provided sleep states
in some cases) and the above commit doesn't help in those cases.

For this reason, rework the system sleep state selection interface
again (but preserve backwards compatibiliby).  Namely, add a new
sysfs file, /sys/power/mem_sleep, that will control the system
suspend mode triggered by writing "mem" to /sys/power/state (in
analogy with what /sys/power/disk does for hibernation).  Make it
select suspend-to-RAM ("deep" sleep) by default (if supported) and
fall back to suspend-to-idle ("s2idle") otherwise and add a new
command line argument, mem_sleep_default, allowing that default to
be overridden if need be.

At the same time, drop the relative_sleep_states command line
argument that doesn't make sense any more.

+
+The meaning of the "mem" string is controlled by the /sys/power/mem_sleep file.
+It contains strings representing the available modes of system suspend that may
+be triggered by writing "mem" to /sys/power/state.  These modes are "s2idle"
+(Suspend-To-Idle), "shallow" (Power-On Suspend) and "deep" (Suspend-To-RAM).
+The "s2idle" mode is always available, while the other ones are only available
+if supported by the platform (if not supported, the strings representing them
+are not present in /sys/power/mem_sleep).  The string representing the suspend
+mode to be used subsequently is enclosed in square brackets.  Writing one of
+the other strings present in /sys/power/mem_sleep to it causes the suspend mode
+to be used subsequently to change to the one represented by that string.
+
+Consequently, there are two ways to cause the system to go into the
+Suspend-To-Idle sleep state.  The first one is to write "freeze" directly to
+/sys/power/state.  The second one is to write "s2idle" to /sys/power/mem_sleep
+and then to wrtie "mem" to /sys/power/state.  Similarly, there are two ways
+to cause the system to go into the Power-On Suspend sleep state (the strings to
+write to the control files in that case are "standby" or "shallow" and "mem",
+respectively) if that state is supported by the platform.  In turn, there is
+only one way to cause the system to go into the Suspend-To-RAM state (write
+"deep" into /sys/power/mem_sleep and "mem" into /sys/power/state).
+
+The default suspend mode (ie. the one to be used without writing anything into
+/sys/power/mem_sleep) is either "deep" (if Suspend-To-RAM is supported) or
+"s2idle", but it can be overridden by the value of the "mem_sleep_default"
+parameter in the kernel command line.
