CA-35893: add delay to the VM.hard_shutdown retry loop.

When performing a VM.hard_shutdown we initially call Xc.domain_shutdown Halt 
and then later check the domain actually has shutdown. If the domain is running 
we assume that something like a reboot has happened in between and we retry.

It turns out that there's sometimes a delay between calling Xc.domain_shutdown 
and Xc.domain_getinfo reporting a shutdown domain: paper over this crack with 
the retry loop.

Ideally in future we'd look for domid changes => reboots but this requires a 
bit more refactoring to remember the old domid.
