resolve stricter warnings

In order to convert this repository to Meson, we need to make it
compile under `warning_level=3`. Fix a number of warning classes
across the repository or disable them.

Some fixes are:

* Add missing header files.
* Fully initialize structs as necessary.
* Add `__attribute__((unused))` on parameters as necessary.
* Fix comparisons between signed and unsigned.
* Fix printf specifiers as necessary.
* Avoid case-fallthrough.
* Remove if conditions which are always true.

Some warnings would require extensive code changes, due to their
pervasive use, and so are disabled at a per-file level:
* `-Wpointer-arith`
* `-Wunused-result`

Add --trace support (in blktrace format)

In an effort understand what PNOR requests come from the host, it'd be
good to be able to trace what requests come in and visualise them.
blktrace is some Linux infrastructure for tracing block device activity
all the way through the linux block layer, for which there is a variety
of existing tooling. These tools process the (typically) kernel produced
blktrace output. We can produce this same output programatically from
mboxd though.

This patch gives us the (option) to start mboxd in a mode where it will
write a blktrace file out, which can be fed into tools like blkparse(1)
or tools like iowatcher[1] to generate charts (and video).

A quirk of the blktrace format is that it's very geared towards a full
IO subsystem, so we can't directly map window operations (what we know
in mboxd) to specific IO ops (i.e. we don't get "firmware read one page
out of this window before closing it"). So, for each Window opening (or
reusing a cached one), we write THREE blktrace events: a Queue,
Dispatch, and Complete.

We can usk tools like blkparse to do everything from get a detailed list
of what windows were opened and for how long:

0,0 0 1 0.000000000 0 Q R 0 + 8 [(null)]
0,0 0 2 0.000000000 0 D R 0 + 8 [(null)]

0,0 0 10 1.429234244 0 Q R 8488 + 2048 [(null)]

to getting a simple summary at the end of how many windows were opened
read and read/write:

CPU0 (0,0):
Reads Queued: 90, 74,040KiB Writes Queued: 6, 2,664KiB
Read Dispatches: 90, 74,040KiB Write Dispatches: 6, 2,664KiB
Reads Requeued: 0 Writes Requeued: 0
Reads Completed: 90, 74,040KiB Writes Completed: 6, 2,664KiB
Read Merges: 0, 0KiB Write Merges: 0, 0KiB
Read depth: 1 Write depth: 1
IO unplugs: 0 Timer unplugs: 0

If you change the window size to something tiny, like 4096 bytes, you
can get detailed paging information for hostboot at the expense of IPL
time.

mboxd: Add a backend abstraction layer to mboxd.

Introduce a backend abstraction, enabling multiple implementations to be
compiled in at once. This change formally abstracts the two existing
backends, mtd and vpnor.

With the backend abstraction in place, subsequent backends are easier to
implement.

This change is based of Evan's work and he retains authorship credit. I
(AJ) have reworked the patch to pass the vpnor tests, refactored some
parts to enable broader use of const structures and others to clarify
the initialisation sequences.

Due to the existing lack of abstraction the patch has unfortunately
wide-ranging impacts. I've whittled it down as much as I consider
reasonable.

flash: Introduce flash_validate()

Clean up the protocol_negotiate_version() mess. The existing approach
came about due to viewing the vpnor implementation as an edge case in
its own right. The code becomes much neater if we consider all backends
as equal and afford them the callbacks necessary for correct behaviour.

for the mtd backend we can simply point the bridge at the host flash
AHB mapping, and for the virtual pnor we want to rearrange the content
of the LPC reserved memory (leaving the bridge pointed there). In either
case the state of the FWH address space is distured, so inform the host
as necessary.

mboxd: Broadcast the daemon is ready on all transports

The code as it stood only sent the state update at startup on the active
transport, which is somewhat arbitrarily chosen as an implementation
detail of the mbox initialisation function.

If the host firmware is using IPMI, it will not learn of the update
unless it attempts to contact mboxd, which it won't do if it knows the
daemon isn't there, which it may have learned of by receiving a state
update from the daemon's shutdown path. In this circumstance the host
firmware is now stuck.

Relieve the host firmware of this problem by always sending the daemon
state on all supported transports. To avoid some insanity we introduce a
new callback in struct transport_ops that allows use to send the BMC's
entire event state rather than just set or clear updates.

transport: Fix event handling

Events were not quite being handled as per the intent of the recent
refactor: The protocol layer was meant to record the raw set of events
and provide the protocol-version-specific mask to the transport layer,
which the transport layer would then use to flush out the state in
accordance with its implementation-specific requirements.

What was going wrong was that the transport implementations were
overwriting the raw set of events with the protocol-specific masked set
of events, meaning that we'd lose the raw state and provide an
incomplete BMC state value on protocol upgrade.

Rework the event handling to make sure the responsibilities are properly
split between the layers.

transport: Retain knowledge of setting and clearing of events

The protocol layer now just filters the events based on the version of
the protocol in use, and leaves it to the transport layer to manage how
the resulting state is represented. For the moment this simply moves
manipulation of bmc_events in struct mbox_context down in to the
transport layer.

vpnor: Hijack protocol rather than transport

By hijacking the transport the changes in behaviour were limited to the
mailbox interface. Now that we have a DBus interface as well this would
lead to inconsistent behaviour dependent on the transport.

Instead of hooking the transport, push the hook down to the protocol
level where we will achieve consistent behaviour across all transports.
