[PATCH V1 20/32] vl: add helper to request re-exec

[Steve Sistare]

Add a qemu_exec_requested() hook that causes the main loop to exit and
re-exec qemu using the same initial arguments.  If /usr/bin/qemu-exec
exists, exec that instead.  This is an optional site-specific trampoline
that may alter the environment before exec'ing the qemu binary.
