cxxrtl: provide a way to perform unobtrusive power-on reset.

Although it is always possible to destroy and recreate the design to
simulate a power-on reset, this has two drawbacks:
  * Black boxes are also destroyed and recreated, which causes them
    to reacquire their resources, which might be costly and/or erase
    important state.
  * Pointers into the design are invalidated and have to be acquired
    again, which is costly and might be very inconvenient if they are
    captured elsewhere (especially through the C API).
