target: improve robustness of reset command

Before this change jim_target_reset() checked examined state of a target
and failed without calling .assert_reset in particular target layer
(and without comprehensible warning to user).
Cortex-M target (which refuses access to DP under active SRST):
If connection is lost then reset process fails before asserting SRST
and connection with MCU is not restored.
This resulted in:
1) A lot of Cortex-M MCUs required use of reset button or cycling power
after firmware blocked SWD access somehow (sleep, misconfigured clock etc).
If firmware blocks SWD access early during initialization, a MCU could
become completely inaccessible by SWD.
2) If OpenOCD is (re)started and a MCU is in a broken state unresponsive
to SWD, reset command does not work even if it could help to restore communication.
Hopefully this scenario is not possible under full JTAG.

jim_target_reset() in target.c now does not check examined state
and delegates this task to a particular target. All targets have been checked
and xx_assert_reset() (or xx_deassert_reset()) procedures were changed
to check examined state if needed. Targets except arm11, cortex_a and cortex_m
just fail if target is not examined although it may be possible to use
at least hw reset. Left as TODO for developers familiar with these targets.

cortex_m_assert_reset(): memory access errors are stored
instead of immediate returning them to a higher level.
Errors from less important reads/writes are ignored.
Requested reset always leads to a configured action.

arm11_assert_reset() just asserts hw reset in case of not examined target.
cortex_a_assert_reset() works as usual in case of not examined target.
