For A/B system update support the Android boot process requires to send
'androidboot.slot_suffix' parameter as a command line argument. This
patch implementes 'ab_select' command which allows us to obtain current
slot by processing the A/B metadata.
The patch was extracted from commit [1] with one modification: the
separator for specifying the name of metadata partition was changed
from ';' to '#', because ';' is used for commands separation.

This patch determines the A/B-specific bootloader message structure
that is the basis for implementation of recovery and A/B update
functions. A/B metadata is stored in this structure and used to decide
which slot should we use to boot the device. Also some basic functions
for A/B metadata manipulation are implemented (like slot selection).
The patch was extracted from commits [1], [2] with some coding style
fixes.

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

Quote from https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1104244/#2210814:
----------8<-----------
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.

This allows to use any available compression format with Android boot image
Since not all available compression formats have a magic number we should
explicitly specify type of compression.
For this purpose using uImage format becomes very useful, as this format is
well-known by the community and mkimage tool is already available.
Usage example:
mkimage -A ARM64 -T kernel -C lzma -d Image.lzma out/kernel
At this moment only -C option is handled, but specifying -A and -T options
are recommended for compatibility reasons in the future.
Kernel that compressed with LZ4 can be already used without wrapping into
the uImage, but I recommend wrapping it into the uImage in order to avoid
situations when by some mistake legacy LZ4 is used, that is interpreted as
raw Image and causes CPU to enter Exception Handler without providing any
meaningful explanation to the user.

If there is only one menu item available, prompting user to enter
choice makes little sense and just causes unnecessary boot delay. This
change makes menu_get_choice return the only one item when there is no
other choices.

This sub-command serves for getting the partition index from
partition name. Also it can be used to test the existence of specified
partition.
Use case:
For example, in most CI environments this U-Boot command for automatic
testing of Linux rootfs is used:
=> setenv bootpart 1:f
where 0xf is "userdata" partition. But the number of "userdata"
partition can be changed any time, when partition table is changed.
So it would be nice to get rid of that 0xf magic number and use
partition name instead, like this:
=> part number mmc 1 userdata part_num
=> setenv bootpart 1:${part_num}
