Add test cases for accessing the FWU Metadata on the sandbox
platform. The sandbox platform also uses the metadata access driver
for GPT partitioned block devices.
The FWU feature will be tested on the sandbox64 variant with a raw
capsule. Remove the FIT capsule testing from sandbox64 defconfig --
the FIT capsule test will be run on the sandbox_flattree variant.

The FWU Multi Bank Update feature supports updating firmware images
to one of multiple sets(also called banks) of images. The firmware
images are clubbed together in banks, with the system booting images
from the active bank. Information on the images such as which bank
they belong to is stored as part of the metadata structure, which is
stored on the same storage media as the firmware images on a dedicated
partition.
At the time of update, the metadata is read to identify the bank to
which the images need to be flashed(update bank). On a successful
update, the metadata is modified to set the updated bank as active
bank to subsequently boot from.

The FWU Multi Bank Update specification requires the Update Agent to
carry out certain checks at the time of platform boot. The Update
Agent is the component which is responsible for updating the firmware
components and maintaining and keeping the metadata in sync.
The spec requires that the Update Agent perform the following checks
at the time of boot
* Sanity check of both the metadata copies maintained by the platform.
* Get the boot index passed to U-Boot by the prior stage bootloader
and use this value for metadata bookkeeping.
* Check if the system is booting in Trial State. If the system boots
in the Trial State for more than a specified number of boot counts,
change the Active Bank to be booting the platform from.
Call these checks through the main loop event at the time of platform
boot.

Add weak functions for getting the update index value and dfu
alternate number needed for FWU Multi Bank update
functionality.
The current implementation for getting the update index value is for
platforms with 2 banks. If a platform supports more than 2 banks, it
can implement it's own function. The function to get the dfu alternate
number has been added for platforms with GPT partitioned storage
devices. Platforms with other storage partition scheme need to
implement their own function.

In the FWU Multi Bank Update feature, the information about the
updatable images is stored as part of the metadata, which is stored on
a dedicated partition. Add the metadata structure, and a driver model
uclass which provides functions to access the metadata. These are
generic API's, and implementations can be added based on parameters
like how the metadata partition is accessed and what type of storage
device houses the metadata.
