BCM4908 devices with U-Boot use pkgtb firmware format. It's based on
U-Boot's FIT: DTB with configurations, images & embedded data.
This format contains bootfs, rootfs and optionally a first stage U-Boot
loader. Contained images need to be extracted & flashed.
Broadcom used two sets of firmwares: main & backup. It uses UBI volumes
"metadata1" & "metadata2" for storing U-Boot env variables with info
about flashed images.

(cherry picked from commit 5f05795aa7)
This results in setting format specific data (format info, extract
commands) in a single function. It should help maintaining sysupgrade
code.
This change has been tested on Asus GT-AC5300 and Netgear R8000P.

(cherry picked from commit 30b168b9b8)
It supports flashing OpenWrt images (bootfs & UBI upgrade) as well as
vendor images (whole MTD partition write).
Upgrading cferom is unsupported. It requires copying device specific
data (like MAC) to target image before flashing.
