* qemu: integrate support for VM shutdown on host shutdown
It is now possible to instruct the QEMU driver to automatically perform
managed save, graceful shutdown, or hard poweroff on running VMs, when a
host shutdown is requested. This feature is intended to eventually replace
usage of the libvirt-guests script. The new approach improves on the
libvirt-guests script, by proactively monitor logind for a signal that a
host shutdown has been requested. It will initiate the chosen action on
running guests immediately, allowing shutdown inhibitors to be released
sooner. The new solution is also able to iteratively try multiple actions
until one of them succeeeds in shutting down the VM.
Since it must be mutually exclusive with the libvirt-guests script, this
feature currently requires an manual opt-in through editting of the
/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf configuration file. The libvirt-guests script must
be disabled before doing this.
