[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] ARM: bootm: Allow booting in secure mode on hyp capable systems

Older Linux kernels will not properly boot in hype mode, add support for a
bootm_boot_mode environment variable, which when set to "sec" will cause
u-boot to boot in secure mode even when build with non-sec (and hyp) support.

Changes in v2:
-Allow changing the default boot mode to secure through defining
 CONFIG_ARMV7_SEC_BY_DEFAULT, this is useful for archs which have a Kconfig
 option for compatibility with older kernels
