Allow boards to initialize the DT at runtime.

In some boards like the Raspberry Pi the initial bootloader will pass
a DT to the kernel. When using U-Boot as such kernel, the board code in
U-Boot should be able to provide U-Boot with this, already assembled
device tree blob.

This patch introduces a new config option CONFIG_OF_BOARD to use instead
of CONFIG_OF_EMBED or CONFIG_OF_SEPARATE which will initialize the DT
from a board-specific funtion instead of bundling one with U-Boot or as
a separated file. This allows boards like the Raspberry Pi to reuse the
device tree passed from the bootcode.bin and start.elf firmware
files, including the run-time selected device tree overlays.
