Updating systems

slots or a dedicated recovery system. For the regular slots updating is done like:
- Set the priority of the inactive slot to 0.
- Update the inactive slot
- Set priority of the inactive slot to a higher value than the active slot
- Set remaining_attempts of the inactive slot to nonzero
- Reboot

One way of updating systems is using RAUC_ which integrates well with the bootchooser
in barebox.
