Tim Gover a4d7bdbef0 rpi-eeprom-update: Specifiy a minimum version number for automatic updates ...

Add a new flag '-s' which init scripts should specify to indicate that
the bootloader is running silently to do an automatic update. If '-s'
is specified and the 'default' release is specified then the bootloader
is only updated if it is older than the minimum version number specified
within this script.
This allows the default release to be updated to support new hardware
without forcing updates for existing users. However, if the
configuration is updated then the latest release should be used.

E.g. If network boot is selected via raspi-config or the Raspberry Pi
Imager then it's desirable to get the latest production release to
benefit from any bug fixes. However, a bootloader updated to support
new hardware (e.g. CM4) should not require Pi4B users to to upgrade
their bootloader.

The min-version is set to pieeprom-2020-09-03.
