test-69: send SIGTERM to ask systemd-nspawn to properly stop the container

The terminate() method sends SIGHUP but this signal is not handled by
systemd-nspawn hence the process just exits leaving the container scope around
breaking futher test executions.

This patch sends SIGTERM instead which is a defined API to request
sytemd-nspawn to stop and release the container's resources properly.

Follow-up for 8a7032cfb108c6daa395686320d9361c2195860a.
