kconfig: mention 'hibernation' not just swsusp

Clarify that "software suspend" is what's called "hibernation" in most user
interfaces, shrinking a terminology gap.  (Examples include Gnome and
MS-Windows.)

Also provide a more succinct description of what it does, so you won't have
to read the whole novel in Kconfig; and highlights just why the lack of
BIOS requirements for swsusp are a big deal.

Enable the suspend to disk (STD) functionality.
Enable the suspend to disk (STD) functionality, which is usually
called "hibernation" in user interfaces. STD checkpoints the
system and powers it off; and restores that checkpoint on reboot.
You can suspend your machine with 'echo disk > /sys/power/state'.
Alternatively, you can use the additional userland tools available
from <http://suspend.sf.net>.
In principle it does not require ACPI or APM, although for example
ACPI will be used if available.
ACPI will be used for the final steps when it is available. One
of the reasons to use software suspend is that the firmware hooks
for suspend states like suspend-to-RAM (STR) often don't work very
well with Linux.
It creates an image which is saved in your active swap. Upon the next
boot, pass the 'resume=/dev/swappartition' argument to the kernel to
