reboot: add support for configuring emergency hardware protection action
We currently leave the decision of whether to shutdown or reboot to
protect hardware in an emergency situation to the individual drivers.
This works out in some cases, where the driver detecting the critical
failure has inside knowledge: It binds to the system management controller
for example or is guided by hardware description that defines what to do.
In the general case, however, the driver detecting the issue can't know
what the appropriate course of action is and shouldn't be dictating the
policy of dealing with it.
Therefore, add a global hw_protection toggle that allows the user to
specify whether shutdown or reboot should be the default action when the
driver doesn't set policy.
This introduces no functional change yet as hw_protection_trigger() has no
callers, but these will be added in subsequent commits.
