This pulls in flatcar/bootengine#55 and flatcar/init#91 for a `flatcar-reset` tool and boot logic for selective OS resets, cleaning the rootfs of old state while keeping wanted paths, e.g., when reconfiguring the system with Ignition.

This introduces a tool to use the added bootengine logic for selective OS resets, cleaning the rootfs of old state while keeping wanted paths. The main idea is to use it to rerun Ignition without reformatting the root filesystem completely but still ensuring to have no config drift due to old configs and their side effects. Add a helper that simplifies the regex path specification and takes care of the additional tasks like setting up the first boot, Ignition file/URL, and the machine ID kernel cmdline parameter.
