Subject: [PATCH v2 07/19] remoteproc: Add new resource type for resource table spare bytes

To allow resource appending to an existing resource table,
remoteproc framework should get information about resource
table spare area. With current resource table construction,
remoteproc is not able to identify by itself any free location.
This patch introduces a new resource type named RSC_SPARE which
allows firmware to define room for resource table extension.
Defined spare area will be used by remtoreproc to extend resource
table.
