Bitcoin should shut itself down or cancel system shutdown if system is shutdown while running #4036

Description

@maqifrnswa

If a user shutdowns their system while bitcoin-qt is running, they receive the pop-up window that says,
"Bitcoin Core is shutting down..."
"Do not shut down the computer until this window disappears."

However, by the time the pop-up shows, the user has already shutdown the system and is thinking that that they may have caused a problem.

Should the second line say, "Do not power off the computer until this window disappears." Or should there be a warning to never shutdown your computer while bitcoin-qt is running?
