    qualcommax: ipq807x: add functions for bootconfig partition
    
    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.
