So the problem with shutdown_caused_by_guest is that you get the same
value for both guest reset and guest shutdown.  Could we instead just
pass the ShutdownCause in the event (similar to what was proposed even
when discussing commit 08fba7ac9b618516a5f1d096f78a7e2837fe0594)?

You would get either guest-reset or host-qmp if it's a reset; the same
host-qmp reason could account for both "quit" and "system_reset", but in
practice the caller will know if it has asked for a hard shutdown or a
reset.
