[U-Boot] [PATCH] tools: imagetool: Remove "INSERT BEFORE" from linker script

Not all linkers are able to parse "INSERT BEFORE" part of the linker script.
For example following (rather new) "gold" one:

GNU gold (GNU Binutils for Debian 2.22) 1.11

produces following error:
  HOSTLD  tools/mkenvimage
/usr/bin/ld: error: ./tools/imagetool.lds:23:8: syntax error, unexpected STRING
/usr/bin/ld: fatal error: unable to parse script file ./tools/imagetool.lds
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [tools/mkenvimage] Error 1
make: *** [tools] Error 2

The problem has already been reported, but no evident solution has been
proposed:
