shutdown/reboot/logout: replace HAL with DeviceKit-power

Description
Currently all of shutdown, reboot and logout only work if hald is running (which is wasting precious resources on embedded systems).
For shutdown and reboot, "sudo poweroff" and "sudo reboot" can be used. For logout, I don't know (yet) why it currently requires HAL at all.
The HAL methods should probably be tried first (since sudo might not be configured correctly), with the above commands used as fallback.

Right now, the policy I'm following is to stick as close to the GNOME way of doing things and keep things as simple as possible.
If in the future we have resources to maintain diverging strategies, we'll implement a simple abstract class with concrete implementations so that the only decision point is which implementation to use. That should be better than sprinkling ifs and try..excepts along the code.
In the meantime, distros with special needs will have to patch the sugar code.

HAL is finally going to die. gnome-power-manager seems to use [http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/DeviceKit-power D
eviceKit-power] for the battery and power management part.

The correct link is DeviceKit-power.

We seem to be using the freedesktop interfaces now.
Fallback to poweroff / reboot, fix logout
