samples: boards: nordic: add sample for nrf_ironside update service

Add a sample demonstrating how to use the IRONside update service to
update the IRONside SE firmware on the nrf54h20dk/nrf54h20/cpuapp/iron
board.

+   :name: Nordic IRONside SE firmware update
+
+   Update the Nordic IRONside SE firmware.
+
+Overview
+********
+
+The Nordic IRONside SE Update sample updates the IRONside SE firmware on a SoC that already has IRONside SE installed.
+It can update both the main image and the recovery image of IRONside SE using the IRONside SE firmware release ZIP file.
+
+Update procedure
+****************
+
+The update procedure works as follows:
+
+1. The application invokes the IRONside SE update service and passes the parameters that correspond to the location of the HEX file of the IRONside SE firmware update.
+
+#. The application prints the return value of the service call and outputs information from the update HEX file.
+
+#. After the service call completes, the IRONside SE firmware updates the internal state of the device.
+
+#. The firmware installs the update during the next device boot.
+   This operation can take several seconds.
+
+Once the operation has completed, you can read the boot report to verify that the update has taken place.
+
+Building and running the application for nrf54h20dk/nrf54h20/cpuapp/iron
+************************************************************************
+
+.. note::
+   You can use this application only when there is already a version of IRONside SE installed on the device.
+
+1. Unzip the IRONside SE release ZIP to get the update hex file:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      unzip nrf54h20_soc_binaries_v.*.zip
+
+#. Program the appropriate update hex file from the release ZIP using one (not both) of the following commands:
+
+   a) To update IRONside SE firmware:
+
+      .. code-block:: console
+
+         nrfutil device program --traits jlink --firmware update/ironside_se_update.hex
+
+   b) To update IRONside SE recovery firmware:
+
+      .. code-block:: console
+
+         nrfutil device program --traits jlink --firmware update/ironside_se_recovery_update.hex
+
+#. Build and program the application:
+
+   .. zephyr-app-commands::
+      :zephyr-app: samples/boards/nordic/nrf_ironside/update
+      :board: nrf54h20dk/nrf54h20/cpuapp/iron
+      :goals: flash
+
+#. Trigger a reset:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+   nrfutil device reset --reset-kind RESET_PIN --traits jlink
+
+#. Check that the new version is installed:
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      # Read the version fields from the boot report
+      nrfutil x-read --direct --address 0x2f88fd04 --bytes 16 --traits jlink
+      # Read the update status in the boot report
+      nrfutil x-read --direct --address 0x2f88fd24 --bytes 4 --traits jlink
