When it is stopped, its internal data that it self-trained goes away. It will be useful if the execution can be paused and resumed with the previous self-trained data. Introduce per-context API parameter, 'paused', for the purpose. The parameter can be set and unset while DAMON is running and paused, using the online parameters commit helper functions (damon_commit_ctx() and damon_call()). Once 'paused' is set, the kdamond_fn() main loop does only limited works with sampling interval sleep during the works. The limited works include the handling of the online parameters update, so that users can unset the 'pause' and resume the execution when they want. It also keep checking DAMON stop conditions and handling of it, so that DAMON can be stopped while paused if needed.
