[Bug 1304257] [NEW] [enhancement] There should be a quit signal sent to sessions instead of killing them directly

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

The task manager currently kills (upstart-stops) the apps upon the user
requesting it to stop. It should send a quit signal instead (and SIGCONT
it first, if stopped), so that the app can shut down gracefully.

A method to forcefully quit the app is needed, too, if it's not
responding (or maybe even just timeout-based).
