vexpress64: fvp: add distro_boot support
So far the FVP model just supports booting through semihosting, so by
loading files from the host the model is running on. This allows for
quick booting of new kernels (or replacing DTBs), but prevents more
featureful boots like using UEFI.
Enable the distro_boot feature, and provide a list of possible boot
sources that U-Boot should check:
- For backwards compatibility we start with semihosting, which gets its
commands migrated from CONFIG_BOOTCOMMAND into the distro_boot
infrastructure. This is also slightly tweaked to fail graceful in case
the required files could not be found.
- Next we try to use a user provided script, that could be easily
placed into memory using the model command line.
- Since we gained virtio support with the enablement of OF_CONTROL,
let's check virtio block devices next. This is where UEFI boot can
be easily used, for instance by providing a distro installer .iso
file through virtio-blk.
- Networking is now provided by virtio as well, so enable the default
PXE and DHCP boot flows, mostly because we can.
