Suggestion for a new power management quirk: hibernate with shutdown instead of platform

Hiyas,

sometimes it is neccessary to run
echo shutdown > /sys/power/disk; echo disk > /sys/power/state
instead of
echo platform > /sys/power/disk; echo disk > /sys/power/state
to hibernate a notebook, e.g. for the on from the user that reported this bug 
report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=375701

I cannot see, that there is a quirk flag that shows whether or not this is 
needed, therefore it should be added, e.g.

power_management.quirk.hibernate_shutdown

Regards,
Till
