Add support to fastboot for automatically using libsparse to break large
files, whether they are in sparse or normal format, into multiple sparse
files that can each fit into the target's memory. Allows flashing
images that are larger than the size of the available memory on the
target.
By default, any file over 512MB will be sparsed into 512MB chunks. The
limit can be modified with the -m argument, or sparsing can be forced
with -S or avoided with -N. If -m is not specified, the target can
override the default by implementing getvar:max-download-size

Some filesystems (e.g. ext4) require flushing an initial
fs image, right after erasing it the partition is unusable.
Doing erase,flush emptyfs is a little bit scaring so we have a
separate command that performs it as atomic step:
- get size of partition
- create an empty filesystem image
- erase the partition
- flush empty fs to the partition
This command applicable only for ext4 filesystem and checks the
partition type before formatting it.
