Title:
  Stop and Delete operations should give the Guest a chance to shutdown

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  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.
