Systemd supports soft-rebooting, which speeds up reboot time by leaving the kernel in place and only rebooting systemd and everything managed by systemd. This saves at least ~10-20 seconds of reboot time.

It's fine for us to leave the kernel in place for applying Forklift-managed changes, since Forklift-managed changes come up after the kernel anyways.

This PR updates various reboot commands to take advantage of soft-rebooting.
