[v5] Actor reset

[davidkpiano]

This PR introduces an actor.reset(persistedState?) method to reset an actor, either to its original initial state or a specified state. This can be a mechanism for actor supervision, where a parent actor can restart a failed actor.

The actor.reset method will:

1. Stop the current actor
2. Set its status to ActorStatus.NotStarted
3. Initialize the actor's state to its initial state or the provided persistedState

Restarting an actor can be done via:

actor.reset();
actor.start();
