Add reference counting to Mbed OS flash backend
The internal functions of mcuboot are not consistent in opening/closing flash areas and sometimes nested calls happen to `flash_area_open` and `flash_area_close`. With the previous implementation, a nested call to `flash_area_close` would deinitialize the underlying `BlockDevice`. This could cause subsequent flash operations on an "open" flash area to fail.
This PR adds a simple open counter for each flash area and ensures the underlying `BlockDevice` is initialized and deinitialized appropriately. The `BlockDevice` is only initialized when transitioning from an open count of 0 to 1. The `BlockDevice` is only deinitialized when the open count falls to 0.
