zzz suspend-to-ram default changed to s2idle

It seems kernel 5.3 changed the default for s2ram to be s2idle, which drains the battery.

To recover the past behaviour, it seems suspend should do

printf deep > /sys/power/mem_sleep

right before it does

printf mem >/sys/power/state

See: https://www.reddit.com/r/voidlinux/comments/drm4nj/severe_battery_drain_in_sleep/

I think this is not the right diagnosis, I have machines with 5.3.4 which default to [deep].

However, it seems to be a Dell XPS issue, e.g. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199689 orhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1808957

Recommended fix on these machines is to boot with mem_sleep_default=deep.
