added chromeos device-category::testing type::feature labels

added category::device label

Tested on peach-pit, boots fine, seems like we get to pmos splash screen faster than before even

Unfortunately, this is going to break old installations on snow chromebooks. People have old U-Boot versions flashed (as secondary bootloader) which probably won't auto-select dtb from extlinux.conf. I want these changes to happen anyway.

It is easy to fix though. Connecting sd card with pmOS to PC and doing:

$ sudo mkdir /mnt/pmOS_boot
$ sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/pmOS_boot
$ sudo dd if=/mnt/pmOS_boot/vmlinuz.kpart of=/dev/sda1

For eMMC installation it is the same, but applied to /dev/mmcblk0 when booted from external storage

UPD: I tested it, it doesn't break booting, it only boots with another dtb which has another sound card, so the only thing broken will be sound. I will document how to fix it on the wiki of this device

I'd put the trigger in devicepkg-dev. Otherwise LGTM!
