Move the u-boot configuration to the device meta-package, and change mmc_bootdev to devnum for compatibility with tow-boot. When booting from tow-boot mmc_bootdev points at the emmc, even if arch is installed to the sd card, devnum gets set to be the correct device though.

I've tested this to make sure it boots with both the uboot-pinephone and tow-boot when booting from the sd card and emmc. And since it seemed like there might be a little confusion, this doesn't replace uboot-pinephone with tow-boot by default, it just makes it so tow-boot can boot arch from the sd card. |

The u-boot boot script thinks it's booting from emmc even if it's booting an sd card when using tow-boot. It seems to be possible to resolve this by replacing
mmc_bootdevwithdevnum.This also makes it possible to remove the uboot-pinephone package when using tow-boot.
I'm suspicious of the code duplication this causes, and wonder if it would be better to use something like Debian's u-boot-menu script, Unfortunately that doesn't support device tree overlays yet, so that might be a project for a later time.
