Standardized firmware update mechanism #184

Each platform has its own way of doing firmware updates.

This is user unfriendly as it requires intimate knowledge of what machine you're using and its particular method of updates rather than everything being simple and easy.

We should have standard OPAL APIs for updating firmware.

@jk-ozlabs would we be able to do this on top of the PLDM stuff you were looking at?
