Fix #247: fall back to reboot -f in sulogin mode

When logged in from sulogin we cannot send IPC to Finit, not even
signals, to delegate reboot.  For usability, attempt to tell reboot that
it's in sulogin mode -- provided the bundled sulogin is used -- to let
reboot trigger over to forced reboot.

We cannot do much about initctl, just document this as a limitation.
