[PATCH v5 00/10] fastboot: Add better support for specifying partitions

This series adds support for flashing eMMC boot partitions, and for
flashing whole partitions. Specifically, it does this by using the
existing U-Boot naming scheme to specify partitions, and not by adding
new KConfig options.

I have added tests for partition naming, but not for the whole flash
process (though that could be a future project). I have tested this on
one board, but I have *not* tested the mt85-specific KConfigs. Hopefully
this series can be a way to phase out those options.

Changes in v5:
- Don't build fastboot test unless we have both FASTBOOT_FLASH *and*
  EFI_PARTITION. This fixes some sandbox builds where only EFI_PARTITION
  was configured.
- Fix conflict between anchors in docs
- Fix incorrect heading name

Changes in v4:
- xxx_auto_alloc_size -> xxx_auto
- Fix missing closing brace
- Expand documentation, making it more man-page-like

Changes in v3:
- Rebase onto dfu/master

Changes in v2:
- Update documentation for part_get_info_by_dev_and_name
- Move partition documentation under doc/usage
