[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/3] net: Make TFTP server timeout configurable

There are two aspects of a TFTP transfer involving timeouts:
1. timeout waiting for initial server reply after sending RRQ
2. timeouts while transferring actual data from the server

Since the upcoming auto-update feature attempts a TFTP download during each
boot, it is undesirable to have a long delay when the TFTP server is not
available. Thus, this commit makes the server timeout (1.) configurable by two
global variables:

TftpRRQTimeoutSecs
TftpRRQTimeoutCountMax

TftpRRQTimeoutSecs overrides default timeout when trying to connect to a TFTP
server, TftpRRQTimeoutCountMax overrides default number of connection retries.
The total delay when trying to download a file from a non-existing TFTP server
is TftpRRQTimeoutSecs x TftpRRQTimeoutCountMax seconds.

Timeouts during file transfers (2.) are unaffected.
