[U-Boot-Users] [RFC/PATCH] Add expr command

[Kumar Gala]

Add a simple expr command that will set an env variable as the result
of the command.  This allows us to do simple math in shell.  The following
operations are supported: &, |, +, -, *, /.

---

I'd like to add this to the default command set in include/config_cmd_default.h
but wanted to get feedback on the command before doing that.
