[Dimitri John Ledkov]

`$ sudo reboot please` now correctly reboots machine, instead of
erroneously dropping to runlevel 1.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   * reboot(8) command has behaviour different from the documented one,
  in particular when passing optional REBOOTCOMMAND argument, whilst not
  in runlevel 0 or 6 and without passing --force, shutdown(8) was not
  invoked with the appropriate arguments. Actual behaviour was dropping
  to runlevel 1, instead of the expected reboot.

  [Test Case]

   * Whilst booted normally to runlevel 2, after executing:

     $ sudo reboot please

   * machine should complete reboot.
