[PATCH v3 6/7] qga/commands-posix: don't do fork()/exec() when suspending via sysfs

[Andrey Drobyshev]

Since commit 246d76eba ("qga: guest_suspend: decoupling pm-utils and sys
logic") pm-utils logic is running in a separate child from the sysfs
logic.  Now when suspending via sysfs we don't really need to do that in
a separate process as we only need to perform one write to /sys/power/state.

Let's just use g_file_set_contents() to simplify things here.
