[U-Boot] [PATCH] Handle environment variables like commands

[Stefano Babic]

The command interpreter checks always if an environment variable
for that name exists and in this case the content of the variable
is executed. It becomes possible to redefine all U-Boot commands.
A new "builtin" command is added to be able to run builtin U-boot commands
even if they are redefined.
