    docs/misc: xenstored: Re-instate and tweak the documentation for XS_RESUME
    
    Commit 13dd372834a4 removed the documentation for XS_RESUME, however
    this command is still implemented (at least in C Xenstored) and used by
    libxl when resuming a domain.
    
    So re-instate the documentation for the XS_RESUME. Take the opportunity
    to update it as there is a user of the command.
    
    Fixes: 13dd372834a4 ("docs/designs: re-work the xenstore migration 
document...")
