[Bug 1615335] [NEW] update-manager "system must restart" dialog confusing

[gmorehou]

Public bug reported:

This bug is against Lubuntu 16.04 specifically.

SCENARIO

A user starts update-manager when updates have already been applied
which require a system restart. A dialog titled "Software Updater"
appears, with text "The computer needs to restart to finish installing
updates", with buttons for "Settings...", "Restart Later" and "Restart
Now..."

WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS

If the user selects "Restart Later," update-manager exits with no
further interaction. This can be confusing as it's unclear whether the
program is doing something without feedback or has crashed.

WHAT I EXPECT TO HAPPEN

I expect to be aware that selecting "Restart Later" will cause update-
manager to exit.

SUGGESTION

Reword "Restart Later" to "Cancel" or "Exit."
