This has been the bane of my existence since long before systemd.
Sometimes my logout and reboot buttons worked, sometimes they were
gray, and sometimes they just exited the wm/de. And like fsmithred,
once systemd came along and I jumpered across it with another pid1,
those buttons almost never worked.

I think Devuan should create four can't-miss shellscripts, for these
four use cases:

* poweroff
* reboot
* hybernate
* suspend

On our supported wm/de's that have buttons for these things, those
buttons should invoke those shellscripts directly.

Obviously, there would need to be a way for those shellscripts to
access policykit.
