Android 10 adds support for dynamic partitions and in order to support
them userspace fastboot must be used[1]. New tool called fastbootd is included
into recovery image.

Userspace fastboot works from recovery and is launched if:
1) - Dynamic partitioning is enabled
2) - Boot control block has 'boot-fastboot' value into command field

The bootloader is expected[2] to load and boot into the recovery image upon
seeing boot-fastboot in the BCB command. Recovery then parses the BCB 
message and switches to fastbootd mode.

Please note that boot script is expected to handle 'boot-fastboot' command
in BCB and load into recovery mode.

Bootloader must support[3] 'reboot fastboot' command which should reboot
device into userspace fastboot to accomodate those changes.

Another command that bootloader must support[3] is 'reboot recovery'. This 
command should simply reboot device into recovery mode.

Changes since v2[5]:
* Split patch 1 into two separate patches:
  * Patch 1 extends fastboot_set_reboot_flag arguments with reboot reason
  * Patch 2 adds new reboot reasons for fastbootd and recovery
* Added name for fastboot_rebot_reason enum
* Replaced switch inside fastboot_set_reboot_flag with table lookup
* Moved fastboot_set_reboot_flag BCB implementation to separate file

Changes since v1[4]:
* Added missing handling of reboot commands for network protocol
* Extended fastboot_set_reboot_flag command to accept reboot reason
* Made former fastboot_set_flag function as an optional implementation of
  fastboot_set_reboot_flag which could be turned on by Kconfig
