Simplify suspend/hibernate notes

I had read somewhere that suspend on the Surface was not really the same
as what Linux supports, so I originally wrote that it wasn't compatible.
However, after some experimentation, I believe the machine really is
suspended. Battery life isn't great in this mode though.

- For the Surface tablet, Microsoft designed a special low power mode that is not compatible with standard "suspend" supported by Linux. As a result, when you close the tablet cover, the screen is disabled, but everything is still running. Batter life in this state is measured in hours -- not days.
- 
- As a workaround, you should enable hibernation and set the tablet to automatically hibernate after a reasonable period of inactivity.
+ To enable disk-based hibernation:
  
  1. Run `cat /etc/fstab` and note the UUID of your swap partition.
  1. `sudo vim /etc/default/grub` and find the setting `GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT`.
