Title:
  modify semantics of bootme attribute to support delayed reboot

Status in Ubuntu system image (server/client/updater):
  Triaged

Bug description:
  system-image currently supports a 'bootme' option that may be present
  in the JSON and instructs Touch to reboot _after it has finished
  downloading the current file_.

  However, Core has a slightly different requirement. It attempts to
  minimise reboots, but when certain packages (like the kernel) have
  been updated, a reboot will be required. Crucially though, this reboot
  should not occur until the the system image has been fully downloaded
  *and* fully unpacked.

  After a discussion with barry+mvo, we think the best approach is to
  modify the bootme flag to be able to specify a 'deferred' value
  meaning "reboot at end of download+unpack".
