reset: Add RESET_TYPE_SNAPSHOT_LOAD

Some devices and machines need to handle the reset before a vmsave
snapshot is loaded differently -- the main user is the handling of
RNG seed information, which does not want to put a new RNG seed into
a ROM blob when we are doing a snapshot load.

Currently this kind of reset handling is supported only for:
 * TYPE_MACHINE reset methods, which take a ShutdownCause argument
 * reset functions registered with qemu_register_reset_nosnapshotload

To allow a three-phase-reset device to also distinguish "snapshot
load" reset from the normal kind, add a new ResetType
RESET_TYPE_SNAPSHOT_LOAD. All our existing reset methods ignore
the reset type, so we don't need to update any device code.

Add the enum type, and make qemu_devices_reset() use the
right reset type for the ShutdownCause it is passed. This
allows us to get rid of the device_reset_reason global we
were using to implement qemu_register_reset_nosnapshotload().
