[U-Boot] [PATCH] cmd_nvedit.c: Add env exists command

env exists is a way to test (in hush) if an environment variable
exists.  A workaround existed using printenv but this new command
doesn't require all the stdout/stderr redirection to prevent
printing information to the screen.

Example:
$ set testexists 1
$ env exists testexists && echo "yes"
yes
$ env exists testexists || echo "no"
$ set testexists
$ env exists testexists && echo "yes"
$ env exists testexists || echo "no"
no
$
