A modular SOF release consists of a base firmware and two libraries: <fw_filename>-openmodules.ri for processing (audio) modules <fw_filename>-debug.ri for debug and developer modules
To handle this new release model add infrastructure to try to load the two library after boot optionally.
This approach will allow flexibility on handling platforms in sof-bin with monolithic or modular configuration:
Monolithic release: base firmware only
Modular release: base firmware + openmodules + debug
The documentation update is: thesofproject/sof-docs#505
