Adds operating system version and security patch level to the boot
image header. This change take into use one of the existing unused
fields to preserve compatibility.
Note: All information is packed into a single field, because there
are a lot of existing devices that break if the first unused field
is set to a non-zero value.

Adds operating system version and security patch level to the boot
image header. This change takes over two existing unused fields to
preserve compatibility with existing devices.

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.
