[U-Boot] [pkg-fso-maint] Bug#540039: uboot-envtools: add uboot-envedit script from fso-utils?

Hi!

Recently I received a request [0] to include a perl script which
can edit the uboot environment. Use case is attached below,
the file (uboot-envedit) is also attached.

Since it is confusing to add random scripts to Debian packages
which are not in upstream, I ask you to include it at your end.


All the best,
Per
