Allow for more automated updates or nagging screens

Reported by julian.k...@gmail.com, Jul 30 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.106 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. System update gets installed and the reboot arrow is shown

What is the expected behavior?
The system update gets enabled at some point, that is, the machine is rebooted some time after the upgrade.

What went wrong?
Users do not notice the arrow icon or just don't really care, thus effectively not updating their systems.

For example, this week, my father's Chromebook already had a 51->51 upgrade installed and the arrow shown (probably on there for some weeks, as 52 was already out). I rebooted it, and then upgraded a second time to 52.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version:   Channel: n/a
OS Version: 
Flash Version: 

I see two ways:

(1) If an update was installed, shut down when the machine would normally suspend. Next start will then have the updated system.

(2) add a huge nagging screen telling people to apply the update if it is installed and the machine has not been rebooted yet for a few days since then.

I think given the awesome session restoring capabilities and the annoying part of (2), (1) would be the obvious Chrome-y choice here.
 
There was also a suggestion to show on the lock screen if an update is installed, but not every device has a lock screen enabled, so it does not really cover everyone.

And just to clarify for the peanut gallery: I don't necessarily want the automatic shutdown thing as a default, a hidden flag or an option would be great. Because I'm sure some people would not like that.
