KEY_SUSPEND has always been pretty clearly used for hibernate for, well, 
forever. I don't think the distinction is a useful one. How many 
machines are going to have both a sleep and a suspend key?

This is a user-visible change in behaviour. I think we're too entrenched 
for it to make much of a difference now. Adding a #define KEY_HIBERNATE 
KEY_SUSPEND sounds fine to me, but I really don't think we need anything 
more.
