[PATCH] qemu: Prevent disk corruption on domain shutdown

[Jiri Denemark <jdenemar@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ever since we introduced fake reboot, we call qemuProcessKill as a
reaction to SHUTDOWN event. Unfortunately, qemu doesn't guarantee it
flushed all internal buffers before sending SHUTDOWN, in which case
killing the process forcibly may result in (virtual) disk corruption.

By sending just SIGTERM without SIGKILL we give qemu time to to flush
all buffers and exit. Once qemu exits, we will see an EOF on monitor
connection and tear down the domain. In case qemu ignores SIGTERM or
just hangs there, the process stays running but that's not any different
from a possible hang anytime during the shutdown process so I think it's
just fine.

Also qemu (since 0.14 until it's fixed) has a bug in SIGTERM processing
which causes it not to exit but instead send new SHUTDOWN event and keep
waiting. I think the best we can do is to ignore duplicate SHUTDOWN
events to avoid a SHUTDOWN-SIGTERM loop and leave the domain in paused
state.
