Title:
  No suspend option for critical battery state in power settings UI

Status in GNOME Control Center:
  New
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The gnome-control-center power UI offers 2 options for "When power is
  critically low": Hibernate and Power Off. There should be a 'Suspend'
  option as well, for a couple reasons:

  1) Some people (like me) want their computer to suspend when it reaches a critical low-battery state
  2) We offer 'Suspend' as an option for the lid closed action, so we should offer it as a critical battery option for consistency

  (Note that neither hibernate nor power off is selected by default in
  the "When power is critically low" combobox  on a fresh install.
  Instead the combobox has no selection at all. This is probably a
  separate bug)

  To reproduce:
  1) Launch the Power settings app
  1a) Observe the "When power is critically low" combobox; nothing is selected
  2) Click the "When power is critically low" combobox

  Expected results:
  Suspend is an option for critical-battery action

  Actual results:
  Suspend is not an option for critical-battery action
