Description

Add a reset() method to all the trackers (BYTETracker, BoTSORT, etc) to initialize the state again to be ready to perform tracking on a new sequence of detections.

Use case

Use a single tracker instance to perform tracking on multiple independent sequence without initiate a new instance, which would help keep code clean sometimes.

tracker = BYTETracker()

for seq_dets in seq_dets_list:
    tracker.reset()
    # tracker.update() for dets of each frame

Right now my workaround is to write a function for each tracker I want to use.

def get_byte_tracker():
    return BYTETracker()

for seq_dets in seq_dets_list:
    tracker = get_byte_tracker()
    # tracker.update() for dets of each frame

Just want to confirm if it's something wanted in general; if so, I could submit a PR.
