POC of fallback support for bootstd


Add a mechanism that can be used in conjunction with bootcount to boot
an alternative option should the default option fail a specified number
of times. This would typically be used to ensure fallback to a previous
installation after an upgrade.

This proof of concept requires the addtion of a "fallback" top level
menu item, listing a label and mirroring that of the "default" menu
item. At the moment, the environment should contain the "altbootcmd"
variable which, assuming the "bootcmd" variable is set to:

    bootflow scan -lb

Would be set to:

    bootmeth set extlinux fallback 1; bootflow scan -lb
