Comment:

 Attached a patch implementing this event.

 Implementing SHUTDOWN or HALT would require waiting for the control
 connections to cleanly close on exit. That is pretty far out of scope for
 this feature, so I documented those as missing.

 RELOAD is also slightly misleading. With ReloadTorrcOnSIGHUP, the event
 will still be sent, but the configuration is not reloaded (the other
 SIGHUP actions do take place). If this is a concern, one option would be
 to have both 'RELOAD' and 'HUP' as events.
