HAL: add reboot_to_bootloader()
✓ Descriptive subject! No meaningful explanatory body! Opaque security-relevant change
The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a straightforward internal refactoring: it moves the device-reboot-into-bootloader function behind a new 'System' hardware-abstraction trait so the rest of the Rust code calls it through a generic interface rather than directly. The actual reboot behavior, safety checks (a user confirmation screen), and underlying C function are unchanged. There is no new vulnerability here; it is normal code cleanup.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal maintainability refactoring. If reviewing further, verify that the `System` trait is only implemented by trusted HAL code and that the reboot API continues to require user confirmation.

Security signals we found

01

Refactoring only: no change to reboot preconditions or user confirmation flow

02

Reboot capability remains behind existing authenticated HWW API and user confirmation

03

No new unsafe code introduced; one existing unsafe call is unchanged

04

No mention of security fix, CVE, or bug in commit message
