The double 'f' is not necessary and is a bit annoying as elsewhere in
U-Boot we use 'buf'. Rename all the functions before it is used more
widely.

It is useful to be able to inspect things before the OS is actually
booted, perhaps to check that all is well or to adjust the kernel
command-line. Implement the 'read_all()' method to allow this.
Provide a simple test to check that the images are found.
For now it is not possible to actually continue the uninterrupted boot,
without re-reading all the images.

The extlinux and PXE code for booting is almost the same. Move it into
the common file so it is easier to keep it in sync.

The fallback feature is implemented for extlinux but not for PXE. Move
the code into common files so we can keep both pieces in sync.

Move this struct into the plat data so that we can use it multiple times
during the boot process.
This struct is missing a comment, so add one.

At present the only option with PXE is to boot it and see what happens.
Provide a bootflow, when available, so that PXE will eventually be able
to add some useful information to it.

Add a file-type parameter to this function and update all users. Add a
proper comment to the function which we are here.
This will allow tracking of the file types loaded by the extlinux
bootmeth.

We want to record the type of each file which is loaded. Add an new
parameter for this, to the read_file() method. Update all users.

As a first step to recording images and where they came from, update
this function to do so, since it is used by two bootmeths
Create a helper function in the bootflow system, since recorded
images are always associated with bootflows.

extlinux_read_bootflow() allocates a buffer to read from file system
without any alignment.
But for some block devices which transfer data via DMA, ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN
alignment is required. For example, due to misaligned buffer, the below
boot failure is observed.
=> boot
CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [9efa25f8, 9efa27f8]
CACHE: Misaligned operation at range [9efa25f8, 9efa27f8]

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.

The "fallback" extlinux config option allows us to set an alternative
default boot option for when it has been detected that the default is
failing. Implement the logic required to boot from this option when
desired.

Using relative path in a /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file fails to load
linux kernel.
Using a /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file:
LABEL test
LINUX ../linux/Image
Result in following error:
Retrieving file: ../linux/Image
Skipping test for failure retrieving kernel
Boot failed (err=-14)
However, using sysboot cmd successfully load kernel using same file:
sysboot mmc 1:1 any ${scriptaddr} /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf
Retrieving file: /boot/extlinux/../linux/Image
Fix relative path using bootmeth extlinux by supplying bootfile path
instead of subdir path in the call to pxe_setup_ctx, same as done in the
sysboot command.

We use the terms 'distro' to mean extlinux but they are not really the
same. 'Distro' could refer to any method of booting a distribution,
whereas extlinux is a particular method.
Also we sometimes use syslinux, but it is better to use the same term in
all cases.
Rename distro to syslinux and also update bootstd uses of syslinux to use
extlinux instead.
