* Original commit message:
fix: recently a change in AOSP causes a bootloop to TWRP
(and therefore all ROM's based on it)
Reason: AOSP enables use of /misc partition and normally the fstab in
TWRP will not have /misc added. The problem is now when Android writes
a wipe command to /misc it will force TWRP to boot but TWRP will do
nothing - leaving the cmd in /misc. This results in a bootloop to TWRP.
Solution: I added a new var TW_IGNORE_MISC_WIPE_DATA which can be
set to "true" in Boardconfig.mk of a device requiring this which then
ignores /misc commands like it would be when /misc would be just not in
fstab BUT with this change TWRP clears the bit in /misc so a normal boot
can happen.
Besides that if the device do not have an own recovery key combo and
/misc is enabled we want to open TWRP after walking through the factory
reset screen - without actually doing a factory reset.
kudos to nailyk (and DevUt) for the help with the C++ code!

Also remove the 0xff comparison when validating the bootloader
message fields. As the fields won't be erased to 0xff after we
remove the MTD support.

(cherry picked from commit 7aa88748f6)
bootloader_messages merges bootloader_message_writer
and bootloader.cpp, so we can use the same library to
manage bootloader_message in normal boot and recovery mode.
