We should not be using typedefs and these make it harder to use
forward declarations (to reduce header file inclusions). Drop the typedef.

These have been reported by Simon in [1] and fixed in [2].
However, since [1] has already been pushed to u-boot/master, the
improvements incorporated in [2] are now extracted and resubmitted.
The changes are in the area of coding style and best practices:
* s/field/fieldp/, s/size/sizep/, to convey that the variables return
an output to the caller
* s/err_1/err_read_fail/, s/err_2/err_too_small/, to be more descriptive
* Made sure 'static int do_bcb_load' appears on the same line
* Placed a `/*` on top of multi-line comment

strncmp() is chosen for the sake of paranoid/defensive programming.
Indeed, strncmp() is not really needed when comparing a variable
with a string literal. We expect strcmp() to behave safely even if the
string variable is not NUL-terminated.
In the same scenario, Linux v5.2-rc7 uses both strcmp() and strncmp(),
but the frequency of strcmp() is higher:
$ git --version
git version 2.22.0
$ (Linux 5.2-rc7) git grep -En 'strncmp\([^"]*"[[:alnum:]]+"' | wc -l
1066
$ (Linux 5.2-rc7) git grep -En 'strcmp\([^"]*"[[:alnum:]]+"' | wc -l
1968
A quick "strcmp vs strncmp" object size test shows that strcmp()
generates smaller memory footprint (gcc-8, x86_64):
$ (U-Boot) size cmd/bcb-strncmp.o cmd/bcb-strcmp.o
text data bss dec hex filename
3373 400 2048 5821 16bd cmd/bcb-strncmp.o
3314 400 2048 5762 1682 cmd/bcb-strcmp.o
So, overall, I agree to use strcmp() whenever variables are compared
with string literals.

'Bootloader Control Block' (BCB) is a well established term/acronym in
the Android namespace which refers to a location in a dedicated raw
(i.e. FS-unaware) flash (e.g. eMMC) partition, usually called "misc",
which is used as media for exchanging messages between Android userspace
(particularly recovery [1]) and an Android-capable bootloader.
On higher level, this allows implementing a subset of Android Bootloader
Requirements [2], amongst which is the Android-specific bootloader
flow [3]. Regardless how the latter is implemented in U-Boot ([3] being
the most memorable example), reading/writing/dumping the BCB fields in
the development process from inside the U-Boot is a convenient feature.
Hence, make it available to the users.
Some usage examples of the new command recorded on R-Car H3ULCB-KF
('>>>' is an overlay on top of the original console output):
=> bcb
bcb - Load/set/clear/test/dump/store Android BCB fields
Usage:
bcb load <dev> <part> - load BCB from mmc <dev>:<part>
bcb set <field> <val> - set BCB <field> to <val>
bcb clear [<field>] - clear BCB <field> or all fields
bcb test <field> <op> <val> - test BCB <field> against <val>
bcb dump <field> - dump BCB <field>
bcb store - store BCB back to mmc
Legend:
<dev> - MMC device index containing the BCB partition
<part> - MMC partition index or name containing the BCB
<field> - one of {command,status,recovery,stage,reserved}
<op> - the binary operator used in 'bcb test':
'=' returns true if <val> matches the string stored in <field>
'~' returns true if <val> matches a subset of <field>'s string
<val> - string/text provided as input to bcb {set,test}
NOTE: any ':' character in <val> will be replaced by line feed
during 'bcb set' and used as separator by upper layers
=> bcb dump command
Error: Please, load BCB first!
>>> Users must specify mmc device and partition before any other call
=> bcb load 1 misc
=> bcb load 1 1
