7d92da0eef boot: Add documentation for the VBE-OS bootmeth
Add some information about this new bootmeth, including how to enable it
and how it works.

Series-to: concept
Cover-letter:
boot: Enhance VBE to support a separate devicetree FIT
It is sometimes desirable to have the devicetrees packaged with firware,
or in a different FIT from the OS. This series adds support for this,
including a test.

The new bootmeth can automatically locate a state file and use that to
decide what images to use when booting. The OS must update the file
before rebooting, if a different selection is required.

For now there is no logic to deal with boot failures.
