more experimental PCI passthrough fixes

1. hotunplug the PCI devices in suspend; hotplug back in in resume
2. do the same in migrate (synchronously, no fancy early unplug, later sync)
3. make the low-level Device.PCI.* functions more robust by always checking for 
the xenstore response ("pci-inserted", "pci-removed")

Note that testing with an HVM SLES11 guest suggests that there's still a race 
in the hotplug code where, even though qemu acks 2 PCI device hotplugs, the 
guest only sees 1. The problem goes away if a sleep is added between the two 
hotplug requests.
