[U-Boot] arm: socfpga: script for installing u-boot / u-boot-SPL

[Pavel Machek]

It is very easy to overwrite partition on your harddrive when all you
want is installing new u-boot(-SPL). Plus... figuring out needed steps
for installation is not trivial, either. This automates installation,
and provides safety net by checking signature on existing partition.

[I managed to overwrite partition once, and in second incident second
mistake -- -EPERM -- saved my data]
