[PATCH v2 2/2] fastboot: inform user if barebox update falls back to raw copy

Fastboot will fall back to a raw copy even for bbu- partitions if
no barebox_update was found or if support isn't compiled in.

Coupled with eMMC boot partitions, this could lead to
`barebox_update -t mmc` updating the boot partition, while a
`fastboot flash bbu-mmc` will write the image to the user area instead.

It's worth telling the user when this happens, so add a status message.
