sandbox: implement reset

Up to now the sandbox would shutdown upon a cold reset request. Instead it
should be reset.

In our coding we use static variables like LIST_HEAD(efi_obj_list). A reset
can occur at any time, e.g. via an UEFI binary calling the reset service.
The only safe way to return to an initial state is to relaunch the U-Boot
binary.

The reset implementation uses execv() to relaunch U-Boot.
