It also needs to cope with being shut down by a signal without any
possibility of user intervention. Two levels should be available: stop now,
and stop when inactive.

This helps init scripts when upgrading a packaged-for-$DISTRIBUTION version
of vdr since there's no guarantee that the upgrade won't be scheduled for
when nothing is being recorded.
