liveupdate: luo_file: implement file systems callbacks

This patch implements the core mechanism for managing preserved files
throughout the live update lifecycle.  It provides the logic to invoke the
file handler callbacks (preserve, unpreserve, freeze, unfreeze, retrieve,
and finish) at the appropriate stages.

During the reboot phase, luo_file_freeze() serializes the final metadata
for each file (handler compatible string, token, and data handle) into a
memory region preserved by KHO.  In the new kernel, luo_file_deserialize()
reconstructs the in-memory file list from this data, preparing the session
for retrieval.
