qemu-ga: execute hook to quiesce the guest on fsfreeze-freeze/thaw

To use the online disk snapshot for online-backup, application-level
consistency of the snapshot image is required. However, currently the
guest agent can provide only filesystem-level consistency, and the
snapshot may contain dirty data, for example, incomplete transactions.
This patch provides the opportunity to quiesce applications before
snapshot is taken.

If --fsfreeze-hook option is specified, the hook is executed with
"freeze" argument before the filesystem is frozen by fsfreeze-freeze
command. As for fsfreeze-thaw command, the hook is executed with "thaw"
argument after the filesystem is thawed.

This patch depends on patchset to improve error reporting by Luiz Capitulino:
