Add definition and documentation for the new generic
info "board.part_number".
The new one is for part number specific use, and board.id
is modified to match the documentation in devlink-info.

As discussed in [1], abbreviating the bootloader to "bl" might not be
well understood. Instead, a bootloader technically being a firmware,
name it "fw.bootloader".
Add a new macro to devlink.h to formalize this new info attribute name
and update the documentation.

Board serial number is a serial number, often available in PCI
*Vital Product Data*.
Also, update devlink-info.rst documentation file.

Add definition and documentation for the new generic info
"fw.mgmt.api". This macro specifies the version of the software
interfaces between driver and firmware.

We are having multiple review cycles with all vendors trying
to implement devlink-info. Let's expand the documentation with
more information about what's implemented and motivation behind
this interface in an attempt to make the implementations easier.
Describe what each info section is supposed to contain, and make
some references to other HW interfaces (PCI caps).
Document how firmware management is expected to look, to make
it clear how devlink-info and devlink-flash work in concert.
Name some future work.
v2: - improve wording
v3: - improve wording

The nfp driver uses ``fw.bundle_id`` to represent a unique identifier of the
entire firmware bundle.
A future change is going to introduce a similar notion in the ice
driver, so promote ``fw.bundle_id`` into a generic version now.

v2: Remove board.nvm_cfg since fw.psid is similar.

Rename the devlink-info-versions.rst file to a plain devlink-info.rst
file. Add additional paragraphs explaining what devlink-info is for,
and the expectation that drivers use the generic names where plausible.
Note that drivers which use non-standard info version names ought to
document these in a driver-specific info-versions.rst file.
