[Bug 1324435] [NEW] reboot VM after upgrade if a new kernel got installed

[Martin Pitt]

Public bug reported:

For tests like LXC we want to run them against the -proposed kernel, so
that we can hold back kernel updates which break LXC in -proposed. But
for that we need to run the test against the -proposed kernel.

Right now we only dist-upgrade which still runs the kernel in release.
We should check in the dist-upgrade if the kernel got updated and if so
reboot the VM before continuing.
