Add a boot device driver for MTD (Memory Technology Devices) that
enables bootstd to scan MTD partitions for FIT images.

Add a mtd_bootdev_hunt() callback that:
- Calls mtd_probe_devices() once to probe all MTD devices (both
  UCLASS_MTD and UCLASS_SPI_FLASH) and parse their partitions
- Iterates the MTD subsystem device list and binds an mtd_bootdev for
  any top-level MTD device that has partitions but is not in UCLASS_MTD
  (those already get their bootdev from mtd_post_bind)
- Uses bootdev_bind() directly since sf_bootdev may already occupy the
  standard bootdev child slot

The MTD bootdev calls bootmeth_check() at the start of get_bootflow()
so that only compatible bootmeths (those that accept MTD bootdevs)
produce bootflows. Until bootmeth_openwrt's check() is extended to
accept MTD bootdevs, this driver is inert — each commit compiles and
introduces no regressions independently.
