RFC add bootable partition support

From: Rob Herring <[email protected]>

The primary goal of this series is to enable using the 1st bootable partition as the default partition for disk boot related commands. Every command that takes a "<dev>[:<part>]" option duplicates the same parsing code, so this series consolidates the parsing code to a single function.

There are obviously other block device commands that need to be converted still. I will do these once there is some basic agreement on the initial support.

disk/part: check bootable flag for DOS partitions disk/part: introduce get_device_and_partition
cmd_ext2: use common get_device_and_partition function
cmd_fat: use common get_device_and_partition function
cmd_scsi: use common get_device_and_partition function
