When a error occurs, it may because a packet was a packet was corrupted or partially received. In this case, it is better to send a NACK packet to the host to request a retransmission, rather than sending a stop code.
This commit implements a new feature that allows the Patina core to be reloaded from the debugger without needing a full system reboot or reflash. This is particularly useful for development and debugging, as it enables rapid iteration on core changes. This feature is intended to be coordinated from the UefiExt debugger extension. This feature is experimental and is likely to evolve and change.

or partially received. In this case, it is better to send a NACK packet
to the host to request a retransmission, rather than sending a stop code.
