save: support bypass-cache flag in libvirt-guests init script

libvirt-guests is a perfect use case for bypassing the file system
cache - lots of filesystem traffic done at system shutdown, where
caching is pointless, and startup, where reading large files only
once just gets in the way.  Make this a configurable option in the
init script, but defaulting to existing behavior.

* tools/libvirt-guests.sysconf (BYPASS_CACHE): New variable.
* tools/libvirt-guests.init.sh (start, suspend_guest): Use it.
