Ignore qemu STOP event when stopping CPUs

With JSON qemu monitor, we get a STOP event from qemu whenever qemu
stops guests CPUs. The downside of it is that vm->state is changed to
PAUSED and a new generic paused event is send to applications. However,
when we ask qemu to stop the CPUs we are not really interested in qemu
event and we usually want to issue a more specific event.

By setting vm->status to PAUSED before actually sending the request to
qemu (and resetting it back if the request fails) we can ignore the
event since the event handler does nothing when the guest is already
paused. This solution is quite hacky but unfortunately it's the best
solution which I was able to come up with and it doesn't introduce a
race condition.
