This adds a new mechanism for rebooting, a form of "userspace reboot"
hereby dubbed "soft-reboot". It will stop all services as in a usual
shutdown, possibly transition into a new root fs and then issue a fresh
initial transaction. The kernel is not replaced.
File descriptors can be passed over, thus opening the door for leaving
certain resources around between such reboots.
Usecase: this is an extremely quick way to reset userspace fully when
updating image based systems, without going through a full
hardware/firmware/boot loader/kernel/initrd cycle. It minimizes "grayout time"
for OS updates. (In particular when combined with kernel live patching)
