There is a need to update the whole card.
The user area, the shell and even the card firmware.
This needs to be handled differently than the
existing partial updating in the fpga manager.

Move the write_* ops out of fpga_manager_ops and
into a new fpga_manager_update_ops struct.  Add
two update_ops back to fpga_manager_ops,
partial_update for the exiting functionality and
full_update for the new functionity.

Partial and Full are somewhat loaded terms with FPGAs -- think partial
reconfiguration vs full reconfiguration.

How about 'persistent' and 'volatile' or something along those lines
instead?
