Add support for installing/replacing the bootloader in the PPBL section of the firmware partition. Allows installation of the Rockbox bootloader in place of the Sandisk one. This expects a plain bootloader binary with no header. Our Rockbox bootloader successfully boots both Rockbox and the OF when installed in this way. This makes it easy to get to a state where e200tool is required, so care is advised.
