[PATCH v4 00/19] bootstd: Support recording images

This series provides a way to keep track of the images used in bootstd,
including the type of each image.

At present this is sort-of handled by struct bootflow but in quite an
ad-hoc way. The structure has become quite large and is hard to query.
Future work will be able to reduce its size.

Ultimately the 'bootflow info' command may change to also show images as
a list, but that is left for later, as this series is already fairly
long. So for now, just introduce the concept and adjust bootstd to use
it, with a simple command to list the images.

This series includes various alist enhancements, to make use of this new
data structure a little easier.

Changes in v4:
- Make sure that bflow->buf is set correctly
- Rebase on top of -master (which now has bootflow_efi() test)

Changes in v3:
- Add a helper in bootflow
- Add a new patch supporting ad-hoc bootflows
- Add new patch to export bootdev_get_from_blk()
- Add new patch to record loaded files in an ad-hoc bootflow
- Update bootstd_add_bootflow() to return the element number
- Use the helper function

Changes in v2:
- Add an image type extension in bootflow.h
- Change the tag to bootmeth_efi
- Drop patches already applied
- Drop patches which add new image types
- Update to use a new image-type enum in bootflow.h
- Use the word 'feature' instead of 'hack'
