[RAUC] Initial rauc.status file

[Charles Steinkuehler <charles@steinkuehler.net>]

In my Buildroot+RAUC example (https://github.com/cdsteinkuehler/br2rauc) 
by default the slots are not writable so I am using a rauc.status file 
on the partition used for storing state and configuration data.

The issue is when I create a new image the rauc.status file is empty 
although the created uSD image includes valid data for all of the slots.

My image build process is roughly:

Create vfat bootfs
-> Write bootfs to boot-mbr-switch uSD primary slot
-> Write bootfs to boot-mbr-switch uSD secondary slot
-> Create RAUC bundle using bootfs

Create rootfs image
-> Write rootfs image to uSD primary slot
-> Write rootfs image to uSD secondary slot
-> Create RAUC bundle using rootfs

Create empty writable data partition (where rauc.status lives)

Questions:
Is there a suggested method of getting from update bundles to a disk 
image that includes the proper contents in rauc.status?

Can I use the rauc command to "cross install", eg: use rauc to write the 
aarch64 contents to the loopback image file on my x86 development system 
and update the rauc.status file in the process, or do I need to do this 
on the target system?
