<title>boot: Consider non-bootable partitions</title>

<content type='text'>
Any 'bootable' flag in a DOS partition causes boostd to only scan
bootable partitions for that media. This can mean that extlinux.conf
files on the root disk are missed.

Put this logic behind a flag and update the documentation.

For now, the flag is enabled, to preserve the existing behaviour of
bootstd which is to ignore non-bootable partitions so long as there is
at least one bootable partition on the disk.  Future work may provide a
command (or some other mechanism) to control this.

<content type='text'>
Add a new 'bootstd images' command, which lists the images which have
been loaded.

Update some existing tests to use it. Provide some documentation about
images in general and this command in particular.

Use a more realistic kernel command-line to make the test easier to
follow.

We have previously added logic to allow a "fallback" option to be
specified in the extlinux configuration. Provide a command that allows
us to set this as the preferred default option when booting.

Combined with the bootcount functionality, this allows the "altbootcmd"
to provide a means of falling back to a previously known good state
after a failed update. For example, if "bootcmd" is set to:

    bootflow scan -lb

We would set "altbootcmd" to:

    bootmeth set extlinux fallback 1; bootflow scan -lb

Causing the boot process to boot from the fallback option.
