fix sys:get_state/1,2 and sys:replace_state/2,3 when sys suspended

Add two new system callbacks Module:system_get_state/1 and
Module:system_replace_state/2 to allow sys:get_state/1,2 and
sys:replace_state/2,3 to operate correctly even if a process is sys
suspended. Modify gen_server, gen_fsm, and gen_event to support the new
callbacks.

If a callback module does not export these functions, then by default the
Misc value (the same as that passed as the final argument to
sys:handle_system_msg/6, and returned as part of the return value of
sys:get_status/1,2) is treated as the callback module's state.

The previous behaviour of intercepting the system message and passing a
tuple of size 2 as the last argument to sys:handle_system_msg/6 is no
longer supported.

Add tests to verify the correctness of sys:get_state/1,2 and
sys:replace_state/2,3 when processes are sys suspended. Add two tests for
modules that implement special processes, one that exports
system_get_state/1 and system_replace_state/2 and one that doesn't.

Much of the credit for this patch goes to James Fish, who reported the
initial problem and implemented much of the fix.
