Remove generic const expressions from embassy-boot

* Remove the need for generic const expressions and use buffers provided in the flash config.
* Extend embedded-storage traits to simplify generics.
* Document all public APIs
* Add toplevel README
* Expose AlignedBuffer type for convenience.
* Update examples

+# embassy-boot
+
+An [Embassy](https://embassy.dev) project.
+
+A lightweight bootloader supporting firmware updates in a power-fail-safe way, with trial boots and rollbacks.
+
+The bootloader can be used either as a library or be flashed directly with the default configuration derived from linker scripts.
+
+By design, the bootloader does not provide any network capabilities. Networking capabilities for fetching new firmware can be provided by the user application, using the bootloader as a library for updating the firmware, or by using the bootloader as a library and adding this capability yourself.
+
+## Hardware support
+
+The bootloader supports different hardware in separate crates:
+
+* `embassy-boot-nrf` - for the nRF microcontrollers.
+* `embassy-boot-stm32` - for the STM32 microcontrollers.
+
+## Minimum supported Rust version (MSRV)
+
+`embassy-boot` requires Rust nightly to compile as it relies on async traits for interacting with the flash peripherals.

-///! embassy-boot is a bootloader and firmware updater for embedded devices with flash
-///! storage implemented using embedded-storage
-///!
-///! The bootloader works in conjunction with the firmware application, and only has the
-///! ability to manage two flash banks with an active and a updatable part. It implements
-///! a swap algorithm that is power-failure safe, and allows reverting to the previous
-///! version of the firmware, should the application crash and fail to mark itself as booted.
-///!
-///! This library is intended to be used by platform-specific bootloaders, such as embassy-boot-nrf,
-///! which defines the limits and flash type for that particular platform.
