usr.sbin/installboot: Add a command line option (-u) to set U-Boot search paths

Installboot can install U-Boot boot blocks directly into a system
image. Normally, the U-Boot files are searched for in
/usr/pkg/share/u-boot, under the expectation that most people will
build them with pkgsrc. However, it is also possible to set an
environment variable (INSTALLBOOT_UBOOT_PATHS) to a colon-separated
search path to accommodate other situations. This commit adds a
command line option (-u) to set the search path; if present, it
overrides the environment and default.

# 1.3 19-Sep-2019 thorpej

Add support for additional install step directives to enable using
installboot(8) to write u-boot images to SPI NOR and other types of
raw flash devices: input-block-size, input-pad-size, output-size, and
output-block-size.

Add the ability to create aliases for install objects, useful for when
e.g. sdmmc and emmc share the same steps.

Tested on an A20-OLinuXino-LIME2-e16Gs16M by bouyer@.

# 1.1 07-May-2019 thorpej

Add installboot(8) support for evbarm (and, in the future, other evb*)
boards that use u-boot. A known board database lists boards and their
respective u-boot packages. u-boot packages are discovered at run-time
(in /usr/pkg/share/u-boot, by default). These packages contain board
database overlays that describe u-boot installation procedure that's
specific for that board.

Support this as a native tool and as a host tool. The native tool
will attempt to determine the running board type using OpenFirmware
calls. Host tool and native tool alike may also specify a board type
directly using the "-o board=xxx option" or have installboot(8) determine
the board type from a device tree blob using "-o dtb=/path/to/board.dtb".
A "-o media=xxx" option is provided for boards that have different u-boot
binaries and/or installation procedures for different media types (e.g.
SDMMC, eMMC, or USB).

This is trivial to extend to other evb* platforms that use u-boot, even if
they don't use FDT for autoconfiguration.
