I see there is already two pull requests implementing shutdown using QEMU guest-agent. Let's not stop there and add third one!
Added guest-agent as suggested in https://wiki.qemu.org/Features/GuestAgent; added start checks and stop cleanups for it similar to monitor socket and a function to send into it.
QEMU GA socket can be moved using conf.d; disabling it is however not an option. QGA socket is always there as is monitor socket, and the virtio device is exposed to a guest. It does not harm and the guest is not obliged to use it if it doesn't want.
