Running fsck on shutdown is an interesting idea, if it can easily be
quit and done the next time, and the user is told of any problems on the
next boot.

In general, you should be able to walk away from the shutdown and know
that the shutdown will actually complete regardless.

If the user gets the option to resolve the issues at the time of
shutdown, then we should not block the shutdown if the user is
unresponsive (i.e. has walked away). The shutdown should complete and
the user gets the option to deal with those issues on boot.
