This patch adds a new API `google_chromeec_is_below_critical_threshold()
` to check if the battery level is below the critical threshold.
The API uses the existing `ec_cmd_battery_get_dynamic()` command to
retrieve the battery flags and checks the `EC_BATT_FLAG_LEVEL_CRITICAL`
flag to determine if the battery level is critical.
This API can be used by other components to query the battery critical
status and take necessary actions, for example, while the system is
booting with low battery fuel with and/or without an AC
charger attached.
This addresses the need to implement a low battery charger icon and
detect when the system is booting with low battery fuel. The existing
`google_chromeec_is_battery_present_and_above_critical_threshold()`
API is not suitable for this purpose because any negative decision
(like battery not present and/or battery is critically low) implemented
around this existing API will also render the lower battery indicator
when the system is booting into battery cut-off mode. Ideally, we do not
wish to render any icon and simply allow boot to the OS during system
battery cut-off boot.
BUG=b:377798581
TEST=Able to read the battery status correctly while booting
google/fatcat.
