I think this works (see http://api.openstack.org/) but haven't tested
it in a while:

Stop: Encode this python dict with json.dumps:

params = { "suspend": None, }

and POST it as the body to v2/{tenant_id}/servers/{server_id}/action

The None really needs to be a None. To start back up, use "resume"
instead of "suspend".
