Persist changes to settings
Persist changes made to settings, if any, such that those changes can be
restored upon a reboot.
Use Cereal for serialization of the settings' properties. Since the
settings code is generated based on a system specific settings policy,
generate the serialization code as well such that only relevant settings
are serialized.
Resolves openbmc/openbmc#1764.
