Fix issues while retaining configuration during nand sysupgrade:
- abort configuration saving if data partition is not found
- generate diagnostics if saving fails (eg, because of lack of space)
- do not output "sysupgrade successful" in case of errors

Prepares code for ubirename-based safe sysupgrade implementation.
Fixes several issues:
- the special CI_KERNPART value "none" is ignored if an MTD partition
named "none" exists
- misleading variable names (such as has_kernel to mean "tar has kernel
and it should not be written to an MTD partition but a UBI volume")
- inconsistent treatment of zero-length tar member files
- inconsistent meaning of "0" and "" variable values
- redundant operations (unneeded untaring, repeated untaring, unneeded
partition lookups)
- inconsistent variable quoting

Ensure that the kernel CRC is invalidated while rootfs is being updated.
This allows the bootloader to detect an interrupted sysupgrade and fall
back to an alternate booting method, such as TFTP, instead of just going
ahead with normal boot and effectively bricking the device.

Possible fallbacks include a recovery initramfs partition or UBI volume

Make sure sysupgrade on NAND also works in case of UBI volumes having
index >9. While at it, also make sure UBI device is detected and abort
in case it isn't. Use Shell built-in shorthand ':' instead of 'true'.

For sysupgrade on NAND/UBI devices there is the U-Boot environment
variable rootfs_data_max which can be used to limit the size of the
rootfs_data volume created on sysupgrade.
This stopped working reliable with recent kernels, probably due to a
race condition when reading the number of free erase blocks from sysfs
just after removing a volume.
Change the script to just try creating rootfs_data with the desired
size and retry with maximum size in case that fails. Hence calculating
the available size in the script can be dropped which works around the
problem.

Currently nand_upgrade_tar() will pass the kernel length
to nand_upgrade_prepare_ubi() in all cases except for when
the kernel is to be installed in a separate partition as a
binary with the MTD tool.
While this is fine for almost all cases newer MikroTik NAND
devices like hAP ac3 require the kernel to be installed as a
UBIFS packed UBI volume in its own partition.
So, since we have a custom recipe to use ubiformat to flash
the kernel in its partition it makes no sense for sysupgrade
to also install the kernel as a UBI volume in the "ubi"
partition as it only wastes space and will never be used.
So, simply check whether CI_KERNPART is set to "none" and
if so unset the "has_kernel" variable which will in turn
prevent the kernel length from being passed on and then
the kernel UBI volume wont be created for no usefull purpose.
The ath79 MikroTik NAND target has been setting CI_KERNPART
to "none" for a while now altough that was not preventing
the kernel to be installed as UBI volume as well.

Check if firmware environment variable 'rootfs_data_max' exists and is
set to a numerical value greater than 0. If so, limit rootfs_data
volume to that size instead of using the maximum available size.
This is useful on devices with lots of flash where users may want to
have eg. a volume for persistent logs and statistics or for external
applications/containers. Persistence on rootfs overlay is limited by
the size of memory available during the sysugprade process as that
data needs to be copied to RAM while the volume is being recreated
during sysupgrade. Hence it is unsuitable for keeping larger amounts
of data accross upgrade which makes additional volume(s) for
application data desirable.

Allow for single (external-data) FIT image to hold kernel, dtb and
squashfs. In that way, the bootloader verifies the system integrity
including the rootfs, because what's the point of checking that the
hash of the kernel is correct if it won't boot in case of squashfs
being corrupted? Better allow bootloader to check everything needed
to make it at least up to failsafe mode. As a positive side effect
this change also makes the sysupgrade process on nand potentially
much easier as it is now.
In short: mkimage has a parameter '-E' which allows generating FIT
images with 'external' data rather than embedding the data into the
device-tree blob itself. In this way, the FIT structure itself remains
small and can be parsed easily (rather than having to page around
megabytes of image content). This patch makes use of that and adds
support for adding sub-images of type 'filesystem' which are used to
store the squashfs. Now U-Boot can verify the whole OS and the new
partition parsers added in the Linux kernel can detect the filesystem
sub-images, create partitions for them, and select the active rootfs
volume based on the configuration in FIT (passing configuration via
device tree could be implemented easily at a later stage).
This new FIT partition parser works for NOR flash (on top of mtdblock),
NAND flash (on top of ubiblock) as well as classic block devices
(ie. eMMC, SDcard, SATA, NVME, ...).
It could even be used to mount such FIT images via `losetup -P` on a
user PC if this patch gets included in Linux upstream one day ;)

This commit allows to use non-standard UBI volume name as the rootfs
volume in sysupgrade.
ex.:
The U-Boot on Buffalo WXR-2533DHP checks existence and checksum of
"ubi_rootfs" volume when booting, so this name is required.
OpenWrt currently provides several patches:
490-ubi-auto-attach-mtd-device-named-ubi-or-data-on-boot.patch
491-ubi-auto-create-ubiblock-device-for-rootfs.patch
492-try-auto-mounting-ubi0-rootfs-in-init-do_mounts.c.patch
to facilitate ubi rootfs automount. However the upstream kernel
also supports the means of booting from a fully custom ubi
partition name and ubi volume name via bootargs/kernel's cmdline
parameters:
ubi.mtd=mtd_partition_name
ubi.block=rootfs_volume_name
root=/dev/ubiblock$X_$Y

Kernel and rootfs in a subdirectory matching the userspace boardname,
was intended to use a single sysupgrade-tar archive for multiple boards
with different kernel/rootfs images. This feature was never used.
Use the first found directory in the tar archive instead of relying on
a directory named according to the userspace boardname.
It allows to change the boardname without adding another compatibility
layer - using the nand_board_name() function - for (sub)targets using
the metadata based image validation in favour to
nand_do_platform_check().

The sender domain has a DMARC Reject/Quarantine policy which disallows
sending mailing list messages using the original "From" header.
To mitigate this problem, the original message has been wrapped
automatically by the mailing list software.
This patch is in continuation of: commit 93aa860405
"procd: nand: make it possible to configure kernel and ubi partition"
The $CI_KERNPART variable should be used in place
of the fixed "kernel" partition name. This allows
targets to specifiy alternate names for the kernel
partition.

Support for the -d and -p options is dropped; it may be added again at some
point by adding these flags to the ubus sysupgrade call.
A downside of this is that we get a lot less information about the progress
of the upgrade: as soon as the actual upgrade starts, all shell sessions
are killed to allow unmounting the root filesystem.
