It would be convenient if I could select "reboot" in Proxmox interface/API and Proxmox would issue a shutdown and then a start of the guest.

When QEMU updates come out its necessary to shutdown the VM and start it back up so it can run under the updated code. (I suppose one could live migrate too)

Another scenario is making changes to the amount to RAM/CPU/Disks/Whatever.

I'm thinking it would work something like this:
Issue Shutdown
Wait X seconds
If VM not running
Issue Start
else
return error
end
