Julius Werner dc8ec103c0 vboot1: Add vboot2 recovery reason strings and subcode to TAB display
vboot2 added a few new recovery reasons (and abolished many old ones).
In the current vboot2/vboot1 hybrid architecture used on Veyron, the
vboot1 kernel verification part controls the status display when
pressing the TAB key, which may try to show recovery reasons set by the
vboot2 firmware verification part. These currently result in the not
very helpful "We have no idea what this means", so lets hack a few more
strings into vboot1 which will be otherwise harmless. Also add the
recovery_subcode field to the display, which is used much more
extensively by vboot2 and often very useful in firguring out what really
went wrong.

BRANCH=veyron
BUG=None
TEST=Manually set a few recovery reasons and subcodes through crossystem
and made sure they get displayed correctly on my Jerry.

Here's what's what in the firmware/ directory.

include/
lib/

  These are the original structures and APIs used in the earliest
  Chromebooks and continuing through 2014. It never had a version as such to
  begin with, but we now refer to this implementation as "vboot1" or
  "vboot version 1.0".

linktest/
stub/

  These are stubs used to link the vboot1 libraries into host-side test
  executables so we can run some tests on the build machine instead of a
  Chromebook.

2lib/

  In 2014 we began work on a new vboot API. The first step was just a
  refactoring and renaming of the verification API. The public functions and
  external headers that are exported for use by the Chrome OS firmware (or
  anything else that wants to use vboot) live in here. The internal
  structures and implementations go elsewhere.

lib20/

  This is an early implementation of the public (2lib/) API. It is
  binary-compatible with vboot1, so although the interface details are
  different, any existing on-device structures or signatures created by the
  vboot1 tools can be validated using this implementation.

  This was deployed slightly before it was ready. That's not a problem,
  thanks to the binary compatibility, but this directory will be abandoned
  Real Soon Now, except for the product support branches.

lib21/

  This is where the current development of the second-generation vboot API
  is taking place. It uses the public (2lib/) API, but will NOT be binary
  compatible with vboot1 structs. Because of the early release of the lib20
  stuff, we're actually calling this lib21.
