PowerVC - Force Shutdown

Add option to force shutdown VMs without the 20min delay on graceful ACPI shutdown. Today selection of VM and "stop" , correctly defaults to a graceful shutdown ACPI command. But if system is in non-responsitve state, waiting for 20min before it triggers hard shutdown is not production class. Option needs to be added like any system control (hmc, vmware, kvm, hyperV etc...) where you have two power controls. Automated = "stop" and is graceful. Force .. user selectable and immediate.
