    Make elog_shrink not depend on having seperate memory/flash descriptors.
    
    The way elog_shrink currently works is that it completely clears the data in
    the flash/flash descriptor and then recreates it using the part of the log
    it's going to keep as stored in the memory descriptor. That scheme depends on
    there being to independent copies of the log.
    
    This change reworks elog_shrink so that it moves the data it wants to keep
    within a single descriptor and then propogates it to the other and to flash
    intact. This way, when one of the descriptors goes away, all we have to do is
    remove the code that would update it.
    
    Built and booted into ChromeOS on Link. Ran mosys eventlog list. Added
    2000 events to the log and ran mosys eventlog list again. Echoed a 1 into
    /sys/firmware/gsmi/clear_eventlog and ran mosys eventlog list.
