    cros_ec: Retry failed VBNV transactions
    
    This patch adds a few retries to NVRAM read/write transactions with the
    EC. Failing to read the NVRAM is not fatal to the boot, but it's still
    pretty bad... especially since a single initial read failure will cause
    vboot to blindly reinitialize the whole NVRAM with zeroes, destroying
    important configuration bits like dev_boot_usb. The current EC
    transaction timeout is one second, so the three retries added here can
    potentially increase boot time by three seconds per transaction... but
    this shouldn't happen in any normal case anyway, and if there are errors
    a little extra wait is probably preferrable to nuking your NVRAM.
    
    (Also, added a missing newline to an error message in the EC code.)

    TEST=Booted a Jerry with the power button bug with a 2 second press,
    noticed that the first two transactions failed but the third one
    succeeded.
