android_ab: Try backup booloader_message
Some devices keep 2 copies of the bootloader_message in the misc
partition and write each in sequence when updating. This ensures that
there is always one valid copy of the bootloader_message. Teach u-boot
to optionally try a backup bootloader_message from a specified offset if
the primary one fails its CRC check.
