Description

Hubtools and Hubris have overlap in their implementations of Hubris/Bootleby image handling that
should be combined into a no_std crate so that there is one source of truth.
This may be limited to the read-only image handling which would be used here and in:
hubris: drv/lpc55-update-server/src/image.rs
hubris: lib/rot-startup/src/image.rs

Research direction

Start by comparing the image-handling implementations in hubris/drv/lpc55-update-server/src/image.rs and hubris/lib/rot-startup/src/image.rs with the corresponding Hubtools code. Identify the overlapping read-only behavior that can move into a no_std crate. Done means both projects use the shared implementation as their single source of truth.
