I dislike the introduction of knobs for everything and would much rather
see that we define some sound defaults. Can we make shutdown just do
detach() if that's supported otherwise stop().

This still allows userspace to explicitly stop the detachable remoteproc
before shutdown, if for some reason that's what you want...
