[U-Boot] Improve default "make" targets (ALL-y)

Hey
For the Debian package, we currently maintain lists like:
dbau1100 u-boot.img
dockstar u-boot.kwb
eNET u-boot.bin
efikamx u-boot.imx
omap4_panda MLO u-boot.bin
[...]
for two reasons:
- because we need to call make u-boot.kwb explicitly to get it built
- to list the files from the obj-dir that we actually want in the .deb
it would be nicer for the packaging, but I guess also for u-boot
maintainers, if these files were just generated by default when one
calls "make".
The subsequent patches will generate u-boot.imx and u-boot.kwb when
it's obvious that these are desired.
However, I didn't manage to find hints in the u-boot tree on when
"u-boot.img" should be generated, and when u-boot.bin is enough;
apparently one can mkimage -T firmware for any board config. Ideas
welcome on how to detect these.
Thanks,
