state: consistently pass one type as private data to dev_add_param_* ...

The different dev_add_param_* calls all use different types as private
data. This is unnecessary, use struct state_variable * for all of them.

A state variable should know which state it belongs to. Add field

state: Refactor state framework ...

The state framework grew organically over the time. Unfortunately the
architecture and abstractions disappeared during this period.

This patch refactors the framework to recreate the abstractions. The
main focus was the backend with its storage. The main use-case was to
offer better NAND support with less erase cycles and interchangeable
data formats (dtb,raw).

The general architecture now has a backend which consists of a data
format and storage. The storage consists of multiple storage buckets
each holding exactly one copy of the state data. A data format describes
a data serialization for the state framework. This can be either dtb or
raw. A storage bucket is a storage location which is used to store any
data. There is a (new) circular type which writes changes behind the
last written data and therefore reduces the number of erases. The other
type is a direct bucket which writes directly to a storage offset for
all non-erase storage.

Furthermore this patch splits up all classes into different files in a
subdirectory.

This is currently all in one patch as I can't see a good way to split
the changes up without having a non-working state framework in between.

The following diagram shows the new architecture roughly:

             A backend_bucket_cached is a transparent
             bucket that directly uses another bucket
             as backend device and caches all accesses.
