Add Force Restart support property

Add HardReboot property to D-Bus interface.

Scenario: some services hang reboots in the BMC shutdown path. Always a
bug of some sort but having a "big hammer" like this to force a reboot
could be useful for getting out of those issues.

Tested:
On Redfish can use ForceRestart to HardReboot the BMC.
