core: Fix stack overflow when reloading config

The behavior when running a "CONFIG" command line is to reload
ldlinux.c32 with the new file as argument. This call never return.

In order to avoid stacking up the calls to start_ldlinux, this patch
introduce a setjmp/longjmp to return to the first call to start_ldlinux,
thus freeing all the stack space.
