+Subject: [PATCH 04/10] handle SIGTERM
+
+0. CApplication::Stop cant be trusted. (deadlocks crashes and boo)
+
+so, when shutdown/reboot is requested:
+
+1. save an exit code (for CEC...)
+2. call CPowerManager::{Reboot,PowerDown}
+3. ... then systemd sends TERM and waits xx seconds before sending KILL
+4. CApplication::Stop has xx seconds to save guisettings.xml and boo
+5. CEC thread has xx seconds to switch off after it received OnQuit
+6. addons / pvrmanager / cec / everything else.. are free to deadlock / crash now, we dont care
+7. KILL
