Use Win32 API call instead of shelling out 'shutdown' in Swarming bot

Project Member Reported by mar...@chromium.org, Nov 2 2017 
Sometimes the bot is hosed in a way that it is impossible to start a new process. In this case the next best thing is to reboot the host.

Right now this is done by shelling out shutdown. This should be converted to a Win32 API call. Choose one of the following (not sure which).
InitiateSystemShutdownEx()
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa376874.aspx
InitiateShutdown()
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa376872.aspx

See issue 766877 for an example problem.

Implemented tentative implementation at https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/infra/luci/luci-py/+/758662. While this works at the command prompt, immediately rebooting the host, the technique consistently fails when used on a bot. This will require more investigation but this is not a priority for me now. Other people are encouraged to investigate if they can, I can give access to the staging swarming server to test it live.
