6ffd42548b multiboot: Refactor boot data validation, add version numbers
Instead of verifying the CRC before every access of the boot data,
verify the CRC once at startup and set a flag to indicate the boot
data is valid.

Also add a framework to support multiple boot protocol versions.
Firmware declares the maximum supported protocol version using a
version byte in the boot data header. The bootloader chooses the
highest version supported by it and the firmware when deciding
what boot protocol to use.

41869a6534 Add boot data support to rockbox.
Bootdata is a special location in the Firmware marked by a magic header
The bootloader is able to copy information to the firmware by locating
this struct and passing data to the firmware when it is loaded but
before it is actually executed

Data is verified by a crc of the bootdata
