hw/core: Add ResetContainer which holds objects implementing Resettable

Implement a ResetContainer. This is a subclass of Object, and it
implements the Resettable interface. The container holds a list of
arbitrary other objects which implement Resettable, and when the
container is reset, all the objects it contains are also reset.

This will allow us to have a 3-phase-reset equivalent of the old
qemu_register_reset() API: we will have a single "simulation reset"
top level ResetContainer, and objects in it are the equivalent of the
old QEMUResetHandler functions.

The qemu_register_reset() API manages its list of callbacks using a
QTAILQ, but here we use a GPtrArray for our list of Resettable
children: we expect the "remove" operation (which will need to do an
iteration through the list) to be fairly uncommon, and we get simpler
code with fewer memory allocations.

Since there is currently no listed owner in MAINTAINERS for the
existing reset-related source files, create a new section for
them, and add these new files there also.
