Add support for A/B boot process on AM57xx based boards:

  1. Define 'slot_suffix' variable (using 'ab_select' command)
  2. Extend 'emmc_android_boot' boot command (add commands for A/B boot
     process)

'ab_select' command is used to decide which slot should be used for
booting up. A/B metadata resides in 'misc' partition.

To activate the A/B boot process, the following config options must be
set:

    CONFIG_ANDROID_AB=y
    CONFIG_CMD_AB_SELECT=y

For successful A/B boot, the corresponding A/B infrastructure must be
involved on Android side [1] (including mounting system as root), and
disk must be partitioned accordingly.

When A/B boot is enabled, there are some known limitations currently
exist (not related to A/B patches, need to be implemented later):

  1. The 'Verified Boot' sequence is not supported
  2. dev path to system partition (system_a or system_b) is passed via
     'bootargs' as 'root=' argument like 'root=/dev/mmcblk1p12', but
     further we'll need to rework it with respect to dm-verity
     requirements [2]

In case when A/B partitions are not present in system (and A/B boot is
enabled), boot up process will be terminated and next message will be
shown:

    "boot_a(b) partition not found"
