    chromeos: Add vbnv wrapper for the different backends
    
    Add a wrapper around the vbnv implementations and call into the different
    backend functions from there.  Also move some of the common functions to
    the common code and simplify the backend drivers.  This will allow some
    of the code to be re-used so the CMOS backend can backup the data into
    the flash backend.
    
    One side effect of this is that the cache of VBNV was removed from CMOS
    and EC backends and moved into the VBNV wrapper, but the flash backend
    also still has a separate cache because it has more state and complexity
    in the implementation.  The wrapper cached data is not used for normal
    vbnv_read/vbnv_write because some callers need the ability to force a
    write if the backend storage is cleared (i.e. CMOS clear).
