Android boot flow is a bit different than a regular Linux distro.
Android relies on multiple partitions in order to boot.

A typical boot flow would be:
1. Parse the Bootloader Control Block (BCB, misc partition)
2. If BCB requested bootonce-bootloader, start fastboot and wait.
3. If BCB requested recovery or normal android, run the following:
   a. Get slot (A/B) from BCB
   b. Run AVB (Android Verified Boot) on boot partitions
   c. Load boot and vendor_boot partitions
   d. Load device-tree, ramdisk and boot

The AOSP documentation has more details at [1], [2], [3]

This has been implemented via complex boot scripts such as [4].
However, these boot script are neither very maintainable nor generic.
Moreover, DISTRO_DEFAULTS is being deprecated [5].

Add a generic Android bootflow implementation for bootstd.

For this initial version, only boot image v4 is supported.

This has been tested on sandbox using:
$ ./test/py/test.py --bd sandbox --build -k test_ut

This has also been tested on the AM62X SK EVM using TI's Android SDK[6]
To test on TI board, the following (WIP) patch is needed as well:
