It would have been a little easier to review if this code motion to
_post_shutdown() were a separate patch. It looks mostly independent of
the other changes.

The big change here is that we now log warnings for exit due to a signal
for QEMUMachine.wait(), too. I assume this is okay.

The condition in the second line went away without a replacement. This
means that previously, intentionally killing a VM with hard=True would
not log a warning (which makes sense to me), but now it does.

On the other hand, I couldn't find a single user of hard=True or the
kill() method in the whole tree. So I guess it doesn't matter anyway?

In the end, while the new behaviour is a bit different in details, it's
not unreasonable, and if it does cause any problems, we can still change
it back.
