Support doing battery cut-off in firmware stage.
Add a new crossystem value "battery_cutoff_request" to indicate that next reboot should cut-off battery and shutdown during firmware stage. This request is primarily for factories to ship devices in an safe state. Previously we have done same thing by running "ectool battery-cutoff" but that creates a problem which "ectool" (and the one to request for cut-off) must live in developer mode while the device must be shipped in normal mode. The mode transition was solved by setting "disable_dev_request=1", but that flag is may get lost on x86 systems (having NV storage in CMOS) when the battery is cut-off . From the experience from Ryu, such settings (dev mode transition and battery cut-off) should be done together inside firmware execution so we can create a new flag, battery_cutoff_request, to finalize device properly.
