test_firmware: Error injection for firmware upload

Add error injection capability to the test_firmware module specifically
for firmware upload testing. Error injection instructions are transferred
as the first part of the firmware payload. The format of an error
injection string is similar to the error strings that may be read from
the error sysfs node.

To inject the error "programming:hw-error", one would use the error
injection string "inject:programming:hw-error" as the firmware payload:

$ echo 1 > loading
$ echo inject:programming:hw-error > data
$ echo 0 > loading
$ cat status
idle
$ cat error
programming:hw-error

The first part of the error string is the progress state of the upload at
the time of the error. The progress state would be one of the following:
"preparing", "transferring", or "programming". The second part of the
error string is one of the following: "hw-error", "timeout", "device-busy",
"invalid-file-size", "read-write-error", "flash-wearout", and "user-abort".

Note that all of the error strings except "user-abort" will fail without
delay. The "user-abort" error will cause the firmware upload to stall at
the requested progress state for up to 5 minutes to allow you to echo 1
to the cancel sysfs node. It is this cancellation that causes the
'user-abort" error. If the upload is not cancelled within the 5 minute
time period, then the upload will complete without an error.
