Coremgmt support for satellites #2498

There's no other interface with satellites than an USB cable for now. With artiq_coremgmt, we should also be able to:

set config keys, both string- (sed_spread_enable) and file-based (boot on Zynq, idle/startup kernels),
reboot,
would be also nice to access logs (setting log levels optional IMO).

On artiq_coremgmt side, it would just require the user to specify the satellite number, e.g.:

artiq_coremgmt -s 1 reboot

We should also implement coremgmt support for flashing RISC-V devices (all DRTIO modes). Load the image into RAM and CRC it before writing the flash, so the device isn't bricked if the link is interrupted or corrupted during transfer.
