Reset Receiver Client

Resets Citrix Receiver in VDA session. Requires cleanup.exe and selfservice.exe. It can take a little over a minute to run.
* Resetting will delete all apps, desktops, accounts, and configurations, and return Receiver to default settings. It will also close all active sessions. Only reset Citrix Receiver to resolve serious problems.

<#####
Script looks for cleanup.exe and selfservice.exe in the default Receiver install directory.  If they are both found it will
perform a receiver reset, wait for it to finish, and then poll storefront.  If storefront is not configured by policy or from 
Studio it will not be able to poll.
