** Description changed:

  lxc-stop sends SIGPWR to a container's pid 1 to notify it that it should
  shut down. This merely starts sigpwr.target right now, but nothing is
  hooked into it. That's deliberate for "real iron" systems as there it's
  usually UPSes sending that, which should be handled by e. g. nut, not
  directly systemd. However, for containers I believe that's a safe
  default.

  SRU TEST CASE:
  --------------
  - Create a vivid LXC container (system or unprivileged)
  - Try to lxc-stop it. With current vivid it will do nothing/hang, with the 
proposed version it will shut down as expected.
+ 
+ REGRESSION POTENTIAL:
+ ---------------------
+ - This new unit is only active in containers (LXC, docker, nspawn, etc.). 
There a possible regression is that someone is running/testing nut or a similar 
UPS responder in a container, but that seems like a theoretical scenario only.
+ - There is no change for VMs or "real" hardware.

+ For the record, in upstart we had /etc/init/shutdown.conf . This is
