Introduce message logging support ...

This adds a buffer for log messages and a 'dmesg' command to
print the messages. The log buffer is implemented as log objects
rather than a string buffer. This makes it easy to implement
limiting the messages, cleaning the buffer and timestamping
the messages.

startup: Don't print multiple lines with pr_info ...

Print the banner with pr_info, but the empty lines before and after
it with printf. This makes the banner show up in the log show up
properly.

clock: make get_time_ns() safe to be called without clocksource ...

make it possible to call get_time_ns() before the clocksource
has been registered. Just return 0 in this case which is still
better than crashing the system.

clock: Add a variable with the first timestamp after startup ...

For measuring the startup time it's useful to save the first
timestamp after the clocksource has been registered.

Add a Firmware programming framework ...

This framework handles a list of registered Firmware programming handlers
to unify a firmware programming interface by hiding the details how
to program a specific Firmware in its handler. This is created with FPGAs
in mind but should be usable for other devices aswell.
A user has two possibilities to load a firmware. A device file is create
under /dev/ which can be used to copy a firmware to. Additionally a
firmwareload command is introduced which can list the registered firmware
handlers and also to upload a firmware.

Add support for metadata in barebox images ...

It's often useful to get some information about a barebox image
before starting or flashing it. This patch introduces barebox
Image MetaData (IMD). When enabled a barebox image will contain
a list of tags containing the desired information. We have tags
for:

- the barebox release (2014.07.0-00160-g035de50-dirty)
- the build timestamp (#741 Mon Jul 28 15:08:54 CEST 2014)
- the board model the image is intended for
- the device tree toplevel compatible property

Also there is an additional generic key-value store which stores
parameters for which no dedicated tag exists. In this patch it
is used for the memory size an image supports.

Since there is no fixed offset in a barebox image which can be
used for storing the information, the metadata is stored somewhere
in the image and found by iterating over the image. This works
for most image types, but obviously not for SoC images which are
encoded or encrypted in some way.

There is a 'imd' tool compiled from the same sources for barebox,
for the compile host and for the target, so the metadata information
is available whereever needed.

For device tree boards the model and of_compatible tags are automatically
generated.

Example output of the imd tool for a Phytec phyFLEX image:

build: #889 Wed Jul 30 16:08:54 CEST 2014
release: 2014.07.0-00167-g6b2070d-dirty
parameter: memsize=1024
of_compatible: phytec,imx6x-pbab01 phytec,imx6dl-pfla02 fsl,imx6dl
model: Phytec phyFLEX-i.MX6 Duallite Carrier-Board

move file helper functions to separate file ...

We have our file helper functions in several places. Move them
all to lib/libfile.c.
With this we no longer have file helpers in fs/fs.c which contains
the core fs functions and no functions in lib/libbb.c which are
not from busybox.

Revert "common: resource: print conflicts as warning" ...

On several i.MX boards we register SDRAM with the values
from the SDRAM controller and also with values from the
device tree. This now issues a warning each time the board
is started. Revert the commit for now.

A better solution might be to check if the same SDRAM region
already exists before trying to register it again.

This reverts commit c9e2e08.

envfs: change API to be able to forward special flags into the envfs superblock ...

In order to be able to mark an stored envfs image with special features
(intentional ignore for example), we now can feed forward these flags.
By forwarding a '0' for the flags nothing changes because the envfs superblock
was already allocated with xzalloc.

envfs: provide an intentional way to ignore an existing external environment ...

Add a simple flag to envfs to be able to mark an external environment as
"not to be used".
This change should not affect existing systems, because the current envfs
implementation ensures the 'flags' member in the envfs master block is always
zeroed.

sandbox: allow "make ARCH=sandbox allyesconfig" ...

Compiling the tree with allyesconfig is helpful because different
compilers (gcc, clang) or static checkers (e.g. clang's scan-build)
can then process and check more code.

This patch introduces two new configuration symbols that Kconfig files
can depend on. That way, code that is only working where a cache or DMA
implementation exists can be opted out.
