[Bug 1550826] [NEW] update-manager does not actually restart when asked

[Humphrey van Polanen Petel]

Public bug reported:

When update-manager concludes that the system needs to be restarted in
order to complete some update, it displays a panel with the options
<restart now> and <restart later>.  Selecting the option <restart now>
does not restart the system, but instead displays the common shut-down
panel with the two big boxes <restart> and <shut down>.  This is wrong.
When the option <restart now> is selected, update-manager should
initiate system restart directly.
