Summary of changes:

* Improved re-exec performance.
* Minor logger fixes for unflushed data.
* Handle re-exec scenario when requested from within a chroot.
* Minor serialisation data format change to handle chroots and
  user sessions.
* Added extra re-exec tests including explicit upgrade tests reading
  from pre-prepared JSON data files.
* Make jobs running within a chroot log their output within the chroot.
* Added "Restart" D-Bus method.
* Changed 'telinit u' to use "Restart" D-Bus method rather than
  sending SIGTERM to play nicely when busybox(1) is init.
* Added "GetState" D-Bus method allowing current serialised internal state
  to be queried.

Thanks to all the contributors, reviewers, testers and users!
