[U-Boot] rename "findfdt" to, say, "selectfdt" or something similar?

  a bit of terminological pedantry but would it be more intuitive to
rename the TI-related "findfdt" environment variable to something like
"selectfdt" or "identifyfdt" or "determinefdt" or ... you get the
idea.

  in my mind, "find" normally implies to go out and *find* something;
that is, to search for it and determine its location. but all that's
happening with "findfdt" is to determine the proper name of the fdt
file based on the board name.

  i realize it sounds picky but twice already i've had to explain to a
class that findfdt isn't really finding anything, it's just *setting*
something that will actually be looked for later.

  thoughts? i can submit a patch if those higher up the food chain
think there's value in this.
