 We'd like a good way to suspend explicitly: we don't want to force the
 laptop to be closed to suspend (though it should do that too), because the
 antennae may have been carefully positioned for best use (closing the
 laptop will put the antennae possibly down on the ground, which is a
 really bad place for them to be).

 So by moving shutdown someplace else (#1395), we free the button for
 suspend use.  When suspended this way (or when the laptop is closed) the
 screen should be turned off.

 This shouldn't really be done until the UI for shutdown is designed by
 Eben.
