SCORU/WASM: Implement rebootable kernels without consuming inputs
Context
This MR implements #3869 (closed): it allows a kernel to reboot without consuming the next input tick, by simply putting the flag /kernel/env/reboot to 1 in the durable storage. The PVM then restarts with a new kernel_next maximum ticks.
The key /kernel/env/reboot is arbitrarily chosen and can be obviously changed, but it made me think of an environment variable for kernels.
The MR also provides a handily crafted kernel that reboots and count the number of reboots, and tests that a rebooting kernel cannot exceed the maximum number of ticks per top level calls.
Manually testing the MR
The reboot tests can be launched directly through:
dune exec src/lib_scoru_wasm/test/test_scoru_wasm.exe -- test "WASM PVM" 12,13
