Bug Description
system-image currently supports a 'bootme' option that may be present in the JSON and instructs Touch to reboot _after it has finished downloading the current file_.
However, Core has a slightly different requirement. It attempts to minimise reboots, but when certain packages (like the kernel) have been updated, a reboot will be required. Crucially though, this reboot should not occur until the the system image has been fully downloaded *and* fully unpacked.
After a discussion with barry+mvo, we think the best approach is to modify the bootme flag to be able to specify a 'deferred' value meaning "reboot at end of download+unpack".

James, let me know if this is still a priority. For now, I'm bumping down the priority and removing it from the 3.0 milestone, but I'm happy to add it back if needed.
