[SLING-5745] Provide a button to clear all registered entities and reinstall those

Description

Currently the web console at /system/console/osgi-installer exposes the history/state of the OSGi installer. In case the state is not reflecting reality for some reason, there should be a possibility to remove that history and restart the according bundles with a button inside that console.

The actions which should be triggered under the hood should be

1. remove the data file RegisteredResourceList.ser
2. restart the bundle org.apache.sling.installer.core

That should lead to every provider being asked about all entities which are then processed again so you end up with state again where the most prioritized entites are deployed.
