fail-boot: allow host to gracefully shutdown

Utilization of this feature in IBM manufacturing brought to light a
deficiency in this design. When the host firmware is booting and logs an
error that triggers this function, it would be ideal to allow that host
firmware the opportunity to gracefully shut themself down prior to
stopping them and moving the host state to quiesced.

This allows the host firmware to find and log any other relevant errors
(think something like verifying all dimms in the system). It's much
better to find all of these in one boot vs. needing to boot each time to
find each bad dimm.

This also allows host firmware a chance to properly write out any cached
data and handle any other relevant shutdown operations.

OpenBMC documentation

The OpenBMC project is a Linux Foundation project whose goal is to produce a customizable, open-source firmware stack for Baseboard Management Controllers (BMCs). This repository contains documentation for OpenBMC as a whole. There may be component-specific documentation in the repository for each component.

The features document lists the project's major features with links to more information.
