The BOOTCONFIG partition is used by Qualcomm's boot chain to store
metadata about the device's startup configuration. It contains info such
as versioning, configuration flags, primary boot partition, and more.

Newer devices with dual boot partitions not only store the active boot
partition in a U-boot variable but also in partition info in the
BOOTCONFIG partition. As such, add library functions to set and toggle
the active boot partition.
