package/mender: bump version to 3.5.3

Browse Source 
Updating directly to 4.x is too difficult and complex, as mender 4.x is
a complete rewrite in C++, with several new dependencies and changes.

As such, update to the last version that was written in Go, which is
3.5.3. The following changes are necessary:

The artifact_info file is no longer supported. Instead, mender now expects a
bootstrap.mender artifact created by mender-artifact /var/lib/mender.
See the following for more information:
https://northerntech.atlassian.net/browse/MEN-2585
https://northerntech.atlassian.net/browse/MEN-2583
https://docs.mender.io/release-information/release-notes-changelog/mender-client#mender-3-5-0-1
https://github.com/mendersoftware/mender/blob/3.5.3/Documentation/automatic-bootstrap-artifact.md

  - Remove all instances of creating or copying an artifact_info file
    from board examples and package/mender.

  - Add a generate_mender_bootstrap_artifact method to
    board/mender/x86_64/post-image-efi.sh which creates a proper
    bootstrap.mender file and places it in the data partition.

  - Add a post-build.sh script to support/testing/tests/package/test_mender
    with the same generate_mender_bootstrap_artifact method with one change:
    As the rootfs.ext4 file is not yet created; we omit the optional
    --provides "rootfs-image.checksum:${img_checksum}" argument when
    generating the bootstrap.mender file.

Mender expects the device_type file to exist in /var/lib/mender/device_type.
  This is further supported by the following line in tests/Dockerfile.daemon:
  `echo device_type=docker-client > /var/lib/mender/device_type`

Add a migration section in docs/manual/migrating.adoc

Update the package/mender/readme.txt to include a quick mention of the
bootstrap.mender artifact change.

=== Migrating to 2025.02
Mender now requires a special bootstrap artifact to be placed in
+/var/lib/mender+. This replaces the +artifact_info+ file. Just like a
normal artifact, the bootstrap artifact is generated with
host-mender-artifact. See +board/mender/x86_64/post-image-efi.sh+ for an
example of how to generate the bootstrap.mender file. See
https://docs.mender.io/release-information/release-notes-changelog/mender-client#mender-3-5-0-1[the
release notes], under features, for more information.
