Title:
  API to bring down the session

Status in unity-mir package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  <blue sky>
  For the desktop session we need a way to tell Unity to signal all the apps 
that they should do a final save, shut them off, do it's own final save and 
start bringing down the session.
  </blue sky>

  <reality>
  There's not time for that, and we need to get something that won't paint us 
into a corner, but yet allows for getting to the blue sky above eventually. For 
today we just need a way for people to get out of their session so they can get 
their desktop back to LightDM without powering off.

  What I'm proposing is that we add a function to the Unity DBus API for 
"RequestSessionShutdown" that indicator-session can call. Today that function 
can just call "exit(0)" and be done with it. In the future the blue sky above 
can be implemented.
