[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/3] tools/mkimage: Assume FDT image type for FIT images

When building a Flattened Image Tree (FIT) the image type needs to be
"flat_dt".  Commit 89a4d6b12fd6394898b8a454cbabeaf1cd59bae5 introduced a
regression which caused the user to need to specify the "-T flat_dt"
parameter on the command line when building a FIT image.  The "-T
flat_dt" parameter should not be needed and is at odds with the current
FIT image documentation.

Ideally this patch would make it into the upcoming release as its a
regression.  I don't really care when 2/3 and 3/3 are applied, they
aren't really bug fixes.
