Subject: [PATCH] um: add "noreboot" command line option for PANIC_TIMEOUT=-1 setups

QEMU has a -no-reboot option, which halts instead of reboots when the
guest asks to reboot. This is invaluable when used with
CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT=-1 (and panic_on_warn), because it allows panics
and warnings to be caught immediately in CI. Implement this in UML too,
by way of a basic setup param.
