4d907025d6 sandbox: restore ability to access host fs through standard commands
Commit 95fac6ab45 "sandbox: Use os functions to read host device tree"
removed the ability for get_device_and_partition() to handle the "host"
device type, and redirect accesses to it to the host filesystem. This
broke some unit tests that use this feature. So, revert that change. The
code added back by this patch is slightly different to pacify checkpatch.

However, we're then left with "host" being both:
- A pseudo device that accesses the hosts real filesystem.
- An emulated block device, which accesses "sectors" inside a file stored
  on the host.

In order to resolve this discrepancy, rename the pseudo device from host
to hostfs, and adjust the unit-tests for this change.

The "help sb" output is modified to reflect this rename, and state where
the host and hostfs devices should be used.

f4d8de48f5 sandbox: block driver using host file/device as backing store
Provide a way to use any host file or device as a block device in U-Boot.
This can be used to provide filesystem access within U-Boot to an ext2
image file on the host, for example.

The support is plumbed into the filesystem and partition interfaces.

We don't want to print a message in the driver every time we find a missing
device. Pass the information back to the caller where a message can be printed
if desired.

7eb2c8d573 sandbox: fs: Add support for saving files to host filesystem
This allows write of files from the host filesystem in sandbox. There is
currently no concept of overwriting the file and removing its existing
contents - all writing is done on top of what is there. This means that
writing 10 bytes to the start of a 1KB file will only update those 10
bytes, not truncate the file to 10 byte slong.

If the file does not exist it is created.

d304931f23 sandbox: Add 'sb' command to access filesystem features
The new 'sb' command is intended to deal with sandbox-specific features
that have no parallel in other archs. This commit adds two sub-commands
to list a directory and read a file from the host filesystem.
