Fixes #690 by Clearing storage['active_boot'] if shutdown was successful (#691)

* Clear storage variable if shutdown was successful

* Adding shutdown monitoring and debug output.

* It seams systemd-run gets a connection reset from running 'shutdown now', but in a good way - so it doesn't raise any exceptions. Or at least that's what it looks like.
