bootstd: Support bootmeths which can scan any partition

Some bootmeths support scanning a partition without a filesystem on it.
Add a flag to support this.

This will allow the ChromiumOS bootmeth to find kernel partition, which
are stored in a special format, without a filesystem.

bootstd: Add a command to read all files for a bootflow

Some bootflows (such as EFI and ChromiumOS) delay reading the kernel until

allocate memory for something that may never be used.

To permit reading of these files, add a new 'bootflow read' command.

bootstd: Allow scanning for global bootmeths separately

Typically we want to find and use global bootmeths first, since they have

Add the logic for this, putting global bootmeths at the end of the

them from the list for subsequent bootdev-centric scans.

This changes the ordering of global bootmeths, so update the

For example, VBE simple provides access to the firmware state.

Add a new method for this, along with a sandbox test.

bootstd: Add the bootmeth uclass and helpers

A bootmeth is a method of locating an operating system. For now, just
add the uclass itself. Drivers for particular bootmeths are added later.

If no bootmeths devices are included in the devicetree, create them
automatically. This avoids the need for boilerplate in the devicetree
files.

bootstd: Support bootmeths which can scan any partition

Some bootmeths support scanning a partition without a filesystem on it.
Add a flag to support this.

This will allow the ChromiumOS bootmeth to find kernel partition, which
are stored in a special format, without a filesystem.

bootstd: Add a command to read all files for a bootflow

Some bootflows (such as EFI and ChromiumOS) delay reading the kernel until
it is needed to boot. This saves time when scanning and avoids needing to
allocate memory for something that may never be used.

To permit reading of these files, add a new 'bootflow read' command.

bootflow: Export setup_fs()

This function is used in some bootmeth implementations. Export it.

bootstd: Rename distro and syslinux to extlinux

We use the terms 'distro' to mean extlinux but they are not really the
same. 'Distro' could refer to any method of booting a distribution,
whereas extlinux is a particular method.

Also we sometimes use syslinux, but it is better to use the same term in
all cases.

Rename distro to syslinux and also update bootstd uses of syslinux to use
extlinux instead.
