[U-Boot] [PATCH] mkconfig: add support for SPL CPU

Add support for specifying a differnt CPU for main u-boot and SPL
u-boot builds.  This is done by adding an optional SPL CPU after the
main CPU in boards.cfg as follows:

     normal_cpu:spl_cpu

This this case CPU will be set to "normal_cpu" during the main u-boot
build and "spl_cpu" during the SPL build.

This is part of my patch series to move all armv4t code out of tegra
u-boot to an SPL.  I haven't heard any suggestions on how to resolve
having a different CPU for the SPL build, so this is my suggestion
as a possible solution.

+Normally CPU is assumed to be the same between the SPL and normal
+u-boot build.  However it is possible to specify a different CPU for
+the SPL build for cases where the SPL is expected to run on a
