BOOT: Add RAW ramdisk support to bootz
This patch allows loading RAW ramdisk via bootz command. The raw ramdisk is
loaded only in case it's size is specified:
bootz <kernel addr> <ramdisk addr>:<ramdisk size> <fdt addr>
For example:
bootz 0x42000000 0x43000000:0x12345 0x44000000

+Note, defining the CONFIG_SUPPORT_INITRD_RAW allows user to supply
+kernel with raw initrd images. The syntax is slightly different, the
