We can't simply increase the value of BOOT_ARGS_SIZE since that
would break past binary compatibility; the offset of 'id' would
change. This can cause serious problems with incremental OTA updates.
Instead, define a supplemental field which stores command line
information beyond the first 512 bytes. A value of 1024 was chosen
to keep the total size of struct boot_img_hdr under the smallest
page size of 2048 bytes.
Even if the extra_cmdline field is used, the original cmdline
field is still always NULL-terminated to avoid issues with older
bootloaders that haven't been updated.

By now these sizes are very common, so make sure we support them.

Add the --base flag to mkbootimg and -b flag to fastboot, to allow
the default kernel base address (0x10000000) to be changed.
