We also already have CONFIG_SPL_ABORT_ON_RAW_IMAGE on which this is
based. If we only disable legacy image support then RAW images should
still be allowed, but we will fail early anyway, we will start to need
an unmaintainable amount of pre-processor logic to to handle the
different image types and what is allowed/not allowed.

Even worse some boot modes don't seem to support FIT images (net,
onenand) so these will alway expect legacy to work. Right now we simply
have to disable these modes.
