[Nut-upsuser] Shutdown problem with Geek Squad GS1285U

[Peter Selinger]

For NUT to switch off your UPS at the end of the shutdown sequence,
you have to edit your shutdown scripts. 

See INSTALL, "Configuring shutdowns for low battery events", item 11
"Edit your shutdown scripts: add upsdrvctl shutdown".
