Description of Issue/Question

When a domain is destroyed by Terraform, it should be possible to send it a "power-off" signal so that it has the chance to shut down properly.

Althoug the current method is very fast at replacing VMs, it is also very brutal and doesn't offer any chance for the VM to react correctly before disappearing (such as deregistering services upon shutdown, etc.).

This is the last part of that wiki paragraph:

An inelegant shutdown, also known as hard-stop:

# virsh destroy <domain>

This is equivalent to unplugging the power cable.
