snapshotctl: Add apply-update option
$snapshotctl apply-update <directory containing snapshot patches>
This command is equivalent to applying incremental-ota but
bypasses all of the update-engine subsystem. Snapshot-patches
which are created on the host will be used directly and
will be written to the COW block devices.
No change to any of the libsnapshot or the I/O path logic.
Once the snapshot patches are applied, device is ready
to reboot as if an OTA update is applied.
Once the device reboots, snapshot merge will be initiated
as usual.
This will help test the changes to libsnapshot + init + snapuserd
extremely quick.
Incremental flashing becomes quite simple in the CI workflow.
Here are numbers tested on live builds where the actual builds/testing
is done on CI.
Patch-Create+Apply = Create the snapshot patches between two
builds and apply them to the device
