[U-Boot] [RFC] fs: make it possible to read the filesystem UUID

Some filesystems have a UUID stored in its superblock. To
allow using root=UUID=... for the kernel command line we
need a way to read-out the filesystem UUID. This is what this
patch tries to do.

Keep in mind that this patch is an RFC and I hope to get some
feedback on this patch.

This is what blkid under linux gives me:
/dev/sdh1: LABEL="data" UUID="b6995cec-97e2-48b8-94dc-8ba7afc92bac" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="43f21f0e-01"
/dev/sdh2: LABEL="rfs" UUID="8d020de7-c75e-4674-948e-f7838a931b02" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="43f21f0e-02"

And here is the output from u-boot:
=> sata init
AHCI 0001.0300 32 slots 1 ports 3 Gbps 0x1 impl SATA mode
flags: ncq stag pm led clo only pmp pio slum part
SATA Device Info:

=> fs_uuid sata 0:1 ; print fs_uuid; fs_uuid sata 0:2 ; print fs_uuid
fs_uuid=b6995cec-97e2-48b8-94dc-8ba7afc92bac
fs_uuid=8d020de7-c75e-4674-948e-f7838a931b02
