Hey,

I've implemented "native" shutdown fallback code on the  BSDs (tested on
FreeBSD, OpenBSD, DragonflyBSD). Current fallback code relies on Polkit, but
when it is not available, the fallback code does not work and user can't
shutdown/reboot/suspend/hibernate. 

On the BSD however, users of group operator can shutdown/reboot the systems, on
FreeBSD/NetBSD/DragonFly users with write access to /dev/acpi can
hibernate/suspend the system (typicall operators users), on OpenBSD users with
/var/run/apmdev can suspend/hibernate.  So I have added code to handle all of
this. 

Here is the code:
