Add append value operator "+=" support to bootconfig syntax.
With this operator, user can add new value to the key as
an entry of array instead of overwriting.
For example,
foo = bar
...
foo += baz
Then the key "foo" has "bar" and "baz" values as an array.

Currently, bootconfig adds a new value on the existing key to the tail of an
array. But this looks a bit confusing because an admin can easily rewrite
the original value in the same config file.
This rejects the following value re-definition.
key = value1
...
key = value2
You should rewrite value1 to value2 in this case.

Reject if a value node is mixed with subkey node on same
parent key node.
A value node can not co-exist with subkey node under some key
node, e.g.
key = value
key.subkey = another-value
This is not be allowed because bootconfig API is not designed
to handle such case.

Add bootconfig magic word to the end of bootconfig on initrd
image for indicating explicitly the bootconfig is there.
Also tools/bootconfig treats wrong size or wrong checksum or
parse error as an error, because if there is a bootconfig magic
word, there must be a bootconfig.
The bootconfig magic word is "#BOOTCONFIG\n", 12 bytes word.
Thus the block image of the initrd file with bootconfig is
as follows.
[Initrd][bootconfig][size][csum][#BOOTCONFIG\n]

Show the number of bootconfig nodes when applying new bootconfig to
initrd.
Since there are limitations of bootconfig not only in its filesize,
but also the number of nodes, the number should be shown when applying
so that user can get the feeling of scale of current bootconfig.

Add "bootconfig" command which operates the bootconfig
config-data on initrd image.
User can add/delete/verify the boot config on initrd
image using this command.
e.g.
Add a boot config to initrd image
# bootconfig -a myboot.conf /boot/initrd.img
Remove it.
# bootconfig -d /boot/initrd.img
Or verify (and show) it.
# bootconfig /boot/initrd.img
