common: Implement A/B metadata

Browse source 
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.
