EmulationStation on H700 is patched to call reboot.sh and poweroff.sh instead of standard shutdown commands. These scripts were missing from the H700 filesystem overlay, causing the system to get stuck at the charging/splash screen instead of completing the reboot or shutdown. Add both scripts calling knulli-shutdown, which creates the required /boot/restart.flag (so rcS skips the charger binary), syncs the filesystem and triggers the appropriate power action. Tested on RG40XX-H with Knulli alpha 20260209.

@fedekrum , you are the GOAT! This fixed an issue I was having with my RG40XXH... I thought I was going crazy, I would shut it off at night to save power, then go to turn it on in the morning only to find it completely dead. This fixed it so a power-off actually shuts it down now and the battery doesn't drain. Is there any way this PR can get priority to be merged? It looks like other people are running into the same issue I did without any answers: https://www.reddit.com/r/ANBERNIC/comments/1sur5il/rg40xxh_knulli_battery_drain/ |

Summary
This PR fixes the issue where rebooting or powering off from the EmulationStation menu on Allwinner H700 devices (RG40XX, RG35XX) would result in the system getting stuck at the charging/splash screen instead of completing the reboot or shutting down cleanly.
Problem
In the H700 architecture, EmulationStation is patched to call
reboot.shandpoweroff.shinstead of the standardshutdowncommands. However, these scripts were missing in the filesystem overlay for the H700 board. Without these scripts, the system fails to create the/boot/restart.flagfile, which is necessary for the boot process (rcS) to skip the charging binary (/usr/bin/charger) during a reboot.Solution
Add
reboot.shandpoweroff.shto the H700 filesystem overlay. These scripts now correctly callknulli-shutdown -randknulli-shutdown -s, ensuring that:/boot/restart.flagis created before rebooting.Testing
Tested on RG40XX-H with Knulli alpha
