[U-Boot] [Patch v2] command/cache: Add flush_cache command

[York Sun]

When we copy code/data to the main memory, we may need to flush the
cache if required by architecture. It uses the existing function
flush_cache. Syntax is

flush_cache <addr> <size>

The addr and size are given in hexadecimal. Like memory command, there is
no sanity check for the parameters.
