Back in v232 systemd-shutdown would log to /dev/console. However after the addition of always_reopen_console (v233) it would log to STDERR. This caused some debugging issues as container systemd-shutdown logs weren't being logged to console as the arg `--log-target=console` suggested. Since it appears that always_reopen_console was intended for pid1, set it in systemd-shutdown as well so logs will go to /dev/console.
