Subject: [PATCH] Implement client restarting on Android

Restarting the client previously did not work, as the `shell_execute` function on Android uses `fork` which is not supported.

Now, the client is restarted by using an Android intent to restart the main activity. This is triggered by sending a user-defined message from the native code to the SDL main activity thread.
