[Bug 996547] [NEW] add timer setting for

[Daniel Convissor]

Public bug reported:

Right now the automatic reboot is executed via `/sbin/reboot`, so
happens instantly upon completion of the upgrades.  This is an
unpleasant shock for users who are logged in.  It would be nicer if
`/sbin/shutdown -r +<int>` were used.  <int> could come from a new
configuration option.  That warns logged in users that a reboot is
coming in <int> minutes, giving the people an opportunity to save work,
etc.
