Support bouncing a host

No. This is new functionality.
Describe the solution you'd like
Hosts in the simulation are simply futures. During run_until() I'd like to have the ability to "bounce" a host (cancel, join and restart).
Do you have thoughts on how to model it? Some things should persist, e.g., a simulated "disk".
A simulated "disk" could be part of the lib, similar Io. It is certainly more convenient to say a hash map is "durable" across restarts, but we could also take the stance you need to write to disk, which makes the simulation more realistic.
I think we can support bounce without state for now - seems like an orthogonal feature to me. The most immediate issue is that we need to restart the host code.
