images/balena-image-flasher: Install UEFI bootloader in the flasher b…
bf699ac 
…oot partition

The UEFI firmware which comes in Jetpack 6 is at
a newer revision and has symlinks support to load the
kernel and dtb from the non-flasher rootfs.

Thus, with an updated bootloader which looks
for the flasher flag in the boot partition,
we can provision the internal medium using the
existing firmware in the QSPI.

If the QSPI is not available, like in the case where the standard
uefi firmware is running and the board has not been started in
rcm-boot mode, don't attempt to write the qspi.

Also cleanup unused variable.

recipes-bsp/uefi: Add flasher image check in bootloader
c90a872 
We now check for the flasher flag in the boot partition and
boot the device with the flasher root partition set,
without relying on the rcm-boot script to set the kernel
command line.

recipes-core/balena-image: Install jetson-qspi-manager
59e6847 
This package provides the means for triggering
UEFI updates if the QSPI is not accessible - that
is when a board has been previously flashed with
the reference OS.

This simplifies the use of flasher images because
the board no longer needs to be put in recovery
mode to be provisioned.

This allows for flasher images to be booted even if
the device isn't in recovery mode, as long as the
vanilla firmware in the QSPI is in sync with the hostOS
L4T version.

So that provisioning doesn't take longer than needed
neither trough USB key, nor during migration in the
initramfs.

We also drop clearing of the eMMC when the NVME is flashed,
and leave the initramfs scripts relocate the end GPT,
since this no longer appears to be needed during provisioning.
