[U-Boot] [PATCH 19/19] x86: Implement fully relocatable image

u-boot.bin can be loaded at any 4-byte aligned memory location and directly
'jumped' to using the 'go' command using the load address as the start
address. Doing so performs a 'warm boot' which skips memory initialisation
and other low-level initialisations, relocates U-Boot to upper memory and
starts U-Boot in RAM as per normal 'cold boot'
