[U-Boot] [RFC] board_f: generalize code for case of no relocation

Current implementation of disabled relocation only works for EFI.
In case of GD_FLG_SKIP_RELOC jump_to_copy() will return instead of
jumping further in board_init_r() etc. And jump_to_copy() being the last
call in init_sequence_f when returning simply triggers hang() in
board_init_f(). Well for everything except ARM, SANDBOX and EFI_APP.
Not sure why ARM and SANBOX are here - I would assume it's all on
purpose but as for EFI_APP this is an essential need for getting out of
board_init_f() and jumping in board_init_r() immediately afterwards, see
efi_main().
But what if in case of no relocation we jump in board_init_r() right
from jump_to_copy()? In that case we remove one ifdef from
board_init_f() and leave a chance to seamlessly re-use disabled
relocation for other (non-EFI) cases.

Note I didn't test it for EFI because I don't know how to do that in
simulation, please let me know if there's a simple way to do it.
But I did test it for ARC boards (with additional patches) that enable
disabled relocation - these patches to follow once something similar to
my proposal here is implemented.
