sysctl: add cold_boot sysctl entry

Add a cold_boot parameter which supplements the
boot_reason sysctl entry with information about
whether the system was booted from cold or warm state.

/proc/sys/kernel/cold_boot entry is updated with 1 or 0 when
system was booted from cold or warm boot state respecitively.
