[PATCH 2/2] bootcount_flash: add redundancy support

In order to deal with possible corruption of the flash memory storing
the boot counter, this change adds optional redundancy support to the
bootcount flash driver.

When enabled, a backup copy of the bootcount structure is stored on the
next flash sector, and written each time the main bootcount is saved. In
case the primary bootcount is corrupted, the backup sector will be used
to restore it to its previous state.
