[PATCH PREVIEW RFC 1/6] base: bootcache: initial commit

bootcache provides boot-time key-value cache to help improve
boot performance by allowing drivers to cache expensive computations.

Simple API are provided:
- bootcache_get_u16()/bootcache_set_u16() - retrieve/store u16 values
- bootcache_get_u32()/bootcache_set_u32() - retrieve/store u32 values
- bootcache_get_u64()/bootcache_set_u64() - retrieve/store u64 values
- bootcache_get_string()/bootcache_set_string() - retrieve/store strings
- bootcache_register_backend() - Backend registration
- bootcache_add_entry() - Add cache entry into framework
