PM / Runtime: Update documentation of interactions with system sleep

The documents describing the interactions between runtime PM and
system sleep generally refer to the model in which the system sleep
state is entered through a global firmware or hardware operation.
As a result, some recommendations given in there are not entirely
suitable for systems in which this is not the case.  Update the
documentation to take the existence of those systems into account.

+On some systems, however, system sleep is not entered through a global firmware

+state effectively follows from the states the hardware components end up in

+mechanism entirely under the kernel's control.  As a result, the kernel never
+gives control away and the states of all devices during resume are precisely
+known to it.  If that is the case and none of the situations listed above takes
