[PATCH v2 2/2] file-list: support special 'auto', 'block' specifiers

Best practice is for each board to populate $global.system.partitions
or $global.fastboot.partitions with a string exporting its flashable
devices in a descriptive manner, e.g. "/dev/mmc0(eMMC),/dev/mmc1(SD)".
This often goes into BSPs though, so upstream boards are left without
default partitions, making use a bit cumbersome. Make this easier
by providing three new magic specifiers:
- block: exports all registered block devices (e.g. eMMC and SD)
- auto: currently equivalent to "block". May be extended
to EEPROMs, raw MTD and UBI in future
This makes it easy to export devices on any board:
usbgadget -A auto -b
or
usbgadget -S auto,/tmp/fitimage(fitimage)c

v1 -> 2:
- dropped nvmem specifier (Sascha). Can add it back later
limited to only EEPROMs
- reordered code in file_list_handle_spec to make future extension
easier (Sascha)

+Board code authors are encouraged to provide a default environment containing
+partitions with descriptive names. For boards where this is not specified,
+there exist a number of **partition** specifiers for automatically generating entries:
+
+* ``block`` exports all registered block devices (e.g. eMMC and SD)
+* ``auto`` currently equivalent to ``block``. May be extended to other flashable
+ devices, like EEPROMs, MTD or UBI volumes in future
+
+Example usage of exporting registered block devices, barebox update
+handlers and a single file that is created on flashing:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ detect -a # optional. Detects everything, so auto can register it
+ usbgadget -A auto,/tmp/fitimage(fitimage)c -b
