bootstd: Add a bootmeth for Android
Android boot flow is a bit different than a regular Linux distro.
Android relies on multiple partitions in order to boot.
A typical boot flow would be:
1. Parse the Bootloader Control Block (BCB, misc partition)
2. If BCB requested bootonce-bootloader, start fastboot and wait.
3. If BCB requested recovery or normal android, run the following:
3.a. Get slot (A/B) from BCB
3.b. Run AVB (Android Verified Boot) on boot partitions
3.c. Load boot and vendor_boot partitions
3.d. Load device-tree, ramdisk and boot
The AOSP documentation has more details at [1], [2], [3]
This has been implemented via complex boot scripts such as [4].
However, these boot script are neither very maintainable nor generic.
Moreover, DISTRO_DEFAULTS is being deprecated [5].
Add a generic Android bootflow implementation for bootstd.
For this initial version, only boot image v4 is supported.
