[Impact]

 * VMs being shutdown with any signal/notification from the The
hypervisor level, services running inside VMs have no chance to perform
a clean shutoff

[Test Case]

 * 1. stop a VM 
   2. the VM is shutdown without any notification

[Regression Potential]

 * none


Currently in libvirt stop and delete operations simply destroy the
underlying VM.     Some GuestOS's do not react well to this type of
power failure, and it would be better if these operations followed the
same approach a a soft_reboot and give the guest a chance to shutdown
gracefully.   Even where VM is being deleted, it may be booted from a
volume which will be reused on another server.
