with this, the combining methods can combine both a board and user
config into one binary, which is a step closer to having a command that
does it, and then we can start removing BoardConfig.h from the firmware
build and replace it with patched binaries.
to test it, another retrieval method was added too, and this will
probably be used for more dump commands or a better info or something
like that

this is just to clarify the purpose of this since a related method is
coming soon for the board config

this allows for putting a JSON representation of a config into the user
config area of a binary to be flashed on the board. this allows for
conveying configs as simple JSON files and using them to convey specific
binaries by parts
this is the start of the support to use JSON files on a *new* section of
the binary reserved for board default configs

prior to this, the concatenate assumed it was concatenating a firmware
with a full *storage section*, e.g. the already-padded 8192 bytes, but
it's equally valuable now that I'm creating configs to have just a
config section + footer, which needs to be padded 8192. now concatenate
supports both
