[PATCH 4/5] sandbox: implement actual sandbox reset via exec(2)

From: Ahmad Fatoum <ahmad at a3f.at>

On Linux, /proc/self/exe is a symlink to the originally exec(2)d
executable. We can exec that with the original argv to simulate
a reset. This is useful for shorter development cycles on sandbox
and in future, could be used to test barebox behavior around resets
(e.g. reset reason can be passed through via libc environment).

We leave the original hanging reset in place though, because:

 - Many boards have multiple reset providers and incoming patches
    will allow users to select a specific one. Having this on
    sandbox as well makes testing easier.

 - /proc/self/exe is Linux-specific and wouldn't work when being
   run on e.g. BSDs or macOS
