For A/B system update support the Android boot process requires to send
'androidboot.slot_suffix' parameter as a command line argument. This
patch implementes 'android_ab_select' command which allows us to obtain
current slot by processing the A/B metadata.

The patch was extracted from commit [1] with one modification: the
separator for specifying the name of metadata partition was changed
from ';' to '#', because ';' is used for commands separation.

+         slot should be used to boot from and register the boot attempt. This
+         is used by the new A/B update model where one slot is updated in the
