ed machines power shutdown

Shuts down a configured remote Mac. Nothing happens unless --yes is present.

ed machines power shutdown studio --yes

With --json, success returns the machine name, action, and remote command. Edith runs sudo -n shutdown -h now by default. When the account requires a password, save it with ed machines edit <machine> --sudo-password-stdin.

The SSH connection can close before the final output arrives because the remote Mac is shutting down. Edith treats a cleanly accepted command as success.
