Support end user activation for HyperSwap relationship suspension and activation to allow batch workload best performance

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Spectrum Virtualize HyperSwap current implementation does not allow selectively pausing/activating active-active replication for a volume or a consistency group protected by the HyperSwap mechanism. This forbids clients to host latency sensitive workloads (such as IBM i batch) on their HyperSwap systems in spite of the fact HyperSwap would most of the time deliver better protection for these applications (when HyperSwap would be activated) while Spectrum Virtualize incremental re synchronization would re-establish active active protection faster than most other means. Consequently, clients have to either deploy these workloads on other platforms or revert to software based asynchronous protection such as Mimix.
