[U-Boot] [PATCH v3] common: add a grepenv command

u-boot environments, esp. when boards are shared across multiple
users, can get pretty large and time consuming to visually parse.
The grepenv command this patch adds can be used in lieu of printenv
to facilitate searching.  grepenv works like printenv but limits
its output only to environment strings (variable name and value
pairs) that match the user specified substring.

the following examples are on a board with a 5313 byte environment
that spans multiple screen pages:

Example 1:  summarize ethernet configuration:

=> grepenv eth TSEC
etact=FM1 at DTSEC2
eth=FM1 at DTSEC4
ethact=FM1 at DTSEC2
eth1addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:01
eth2addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:02
eth3addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:03
eth4addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:04
eth5addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:05
eth6addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:06
eth7addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:07
eth8addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:08
eth9addr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:09
ethaddr=00:E0:0C:00:8b:00
netdev=eth0
uprcw=setenv ethact $eth;setenv filename p4080ds/R_PPSXX_0xe/rcw_0xe_2sgmii_rev2_high.bin;setenv start 0xe8000000;protect off all;run upimage;protect on all
upuboot=setenv ethact $eth;setenv filename u-boot.bin;setenv start eff80000;protect off all;run upimage;protect on all
upucode=setenv ethact $eth;setenv filename fsl_fman_ucode_P4080_101_6.bin;setenv start 0xef000000;protect off all;run upimage;protect on all
usdboot=setenv ethact $eth;tftp 1000000 $dir/$bootfile;tftp 2000000 $dir/initramfs.cpio.gz.uboot;tftp c00000 $dir/p4080ds-usdpaa.dtb;setenv bootargs root=/dev/ram rw console=ttyS0,115200 $othbootargs;bootm 1000000 2000000 c00000;
=> 

Example 2: detect unused env vars:

=> grepenv etact
etact=FM1 at DTSEC2
=> 

Example 3: reveal hardcoded variables; e.g., for fdtaddr:

=> grepenv fdtaddr
fdtaddr=c00000
nfsboot=setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs rw nfsroot=$serverip:$rootpath ip=$ipaddr:$serverip:$gatewayip:$netmask:$hostname:$netdev:off console=$consoledev,$baudrate $othbootargs;tftp $loadaddr $bootfile;tftp $fdtaddr $fdtfile;bootm $loadaddr - $fdtaddr
ramboot=setenv bootargs root=/dev/ram rw console=$consoledev,$baudrate $othbootargs;tftp $ramdiskaddr $ramdiskfile;tftp $loadaddr $bootfile;tftp $fdtaddr $fdtfile;bootm $loadaddr $ramdiskaddr $fdtaddr
=> grep $fdtaddr
fdtaddr=c00000
my_boot=bootm 0x40000000 0x41000000 0x00c00000
my_dtb=tftp 0x00c00000 $prefix/p4080ds.dtb
nohvboot=tftp 1000000 $dir/$bootfile;tftp 2000000 $dir/$ramdiskfile;tftp c00000 $dir/$fdtfile;setenv bootargs root=/dev/ram rw ramdisk_size=0x10000000 console=ttyS0,115200;bootm 1000000 2000000 c00000;
=> 

This patch also enables the grepenv command by default on
corenet_ds based boards (and repositions the DHCP command
entry to keep the list sorted).

v2: rebase
v3: address comments from Mike Frysinger, Wolfgang Denk:
- hexport first, so as to always get current environment
- handle multiple strings per invocation, in an OR fashion, uniquify
output
- add a proper #ifdef like CONFIG_CMD_GREPENV, only enabled by default
on corenet_ds systems
- don't use dubious CONFIG_SYS_CBSIZE - use hexported memory
- assign index variables better names than i,j,k.
- provide usage examples in commit text
- add copyright
