Reboot helper for linux/*nix

Registered by Olivier Tilloy

Similarly to the reboot helper for windows (see https://blueprints.launchpad.net/moovida/+spec/elisa-windows-reboot), we need a external reboot helper for linux/*nix systems.

This can be implemented as a shell script that does the same as its windows counterpart (only that theoretically we don't have to deal with deadlocks, so it's easier).

Whiteboard

Note: by reboot, "restart elisa/moovida" is meant, really. It’s not about rebooting the machine.

Note 2: with a plugin system better designed, no restart should be necessary. Updates should be completely transparent to the user.
