devlink: add flash update command

Browse Source 
Add devlink flash update command. Advanced NICs have firmware
stored in flash and often cryptographically secured. Updating
that flash is handled by management firmware. Ethtool has a
flash update command which served us well, however, it has two
shortcomings:
 - it takes rtnl_lock unnecessarily - really flash update has
   nothing to do with networking, so using a networking device
   as a handle is suboptimal, which leads us to the second one:
 - it requires a functioning netdev - in case device enters an
   error state and can't spawn a netdev (e.g. communication
   with the device fails) there is no netdev to use as a handle
   for flashing.

Devlink already has the ability to report the firmware versions,
now with the ability to update the firmware/flash we will be
able to recover devices in bad state.

To enable updates of sub-components of the FW allow passing
component name.  This name should correspond to one of the
versions reported in devlink info.

v1: - replace target id with component name (Jiri).
