[U-Boot] [PATCH v8 07/31] __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD controls availabilty of generic board

We are introducing a new unified board setup. Add a check to make sure that
board config files do not define CONFIG_SYS_GENERIC_BOARD unless their
architecture defines __HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD

__HAVE_ARCH_GENERIC_BOARD will currently not be the default setting, but
we can switch this later when most architecture support generic board.

 The following definitions that deal with the placement and management
 of environment data (variable area); in general, we support the
