[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] net: TFTP: add timer count environment variable

[Albert ARIBAUD (3ADEV)]

There already is an environment variable 'tftptimeout'
for setting individuabl block query timeout value, but
there is none for setting the maximum TFTP timeout count,
which can also help with unreliable network, TFTP server,
or client hardware.

Add environment variable 'tftptimeoutcountmax'. As per the
comments about the global variable tftp_timeout_count_max,
make sure tftptimeoutcountmax is nonnegative.
