The new flag also needs docs in the header of virDomainResumeFlags where
you should mention that it also needs the guest agent in various cases.

This is a bit problematic. As you are compounding two operations into
one, if syncing of the time fails, you've already resumed the guest.
Now with this code you would return failure of the entire API call,
which would have the caller figure out what happened.
Said this, I'm not against this idea but:
1) You need to make it painfully obvious in the error message that the
guest was resumed at this point.
2) You also need to make it obvious in the function docs that this might
happen and also mention that to have better control the user is better
off with calling the time sync function separately.
3) You should also document that the time sync will not happen exactly
at the time the guest was resumed. (Some instructions were executed with
the old time setting)
