    google/chromeos: Add support for saving recovery reason across reboot
    
    On some x86 platforms (skylake, apollolake), we observe reboots at
    different steps during the FSP initialization. These additional reboots
    result in loss of recovery request because vboot_reference library
    clears recovery request on vbnv once verification is complete and it has
    made a decision about which boot path to take(normal/dev, slot-a/slot-b,
    recovery).
    
    Provide a way to allow mainboards/chipsets to inform recovery module in
    vboot2 to save recovery reason to survive unexpected reboots. The
    recovery reason is set in vbnv after vboot_reference library completes
    its verification and clears the reason in vbnv while jumping to
    payload.
