[PATCH 0/5] boot: implement devboot in C

devboot is a script on top of the boot command, which makes it hard to
integrate: Kernel command line fragments need a dedicated namespace to be
removed again, and booting with devboot by default needs a special boot
target. Also, boot overrides get lost when a boot script calls boot or
bootm itself.
This series hands overrides on to whatever a boot entry boots and turns
devboot into what it really is, an option to the boot command: boot -D,
or global.boot.devboot=1 to enable it by default. The devboot command
remains as a shorthand for boot -D.
The series is based on the "boot: UAF and double free fixes", "Add and
use file_exists() helper" and "boot: revert boot related globalvars after
booting" series.
