The main motivation for a shutdown test is that it allows us to choose
whether VMs should be kept alive after the last test.  Including this test
in a job takes no more time than running the job without it, because
normally the preprocessor automatically shuts down guests (except for the
last one).

There's also a small difference between a complete shutdown and a reboot --
a shutdown is supposed to close the qemu process.  I'm not sure this
difference justifies the test, but the reason mentioned in the previous
paragraph does, in my opinion.
