Kernel: Panic if the init process dies

If init crashes, all other userspace processes exit too, thus rendering
the system unusable. Previously, the kernel would still keep running
even without a userland, showing just a black screen without any
indication of the issue.

We now panic the kernel, which shows a message on the console. In the
case of the CI runners, it shuts down the virtual machine, so we don't
have to wait for the 1 hour timeout if an issue arises with
SystemServer.
