[U-Boot] [PATCH 10/11] vexpress64: juno: add alternate kernel and device tree filenames

The default Juno firmware has renamed the kernel and device tree
filenames to norkern and board.dtb.

Rather than change the default configuration to use the new names,
breaking those with the old firmware, attempt to load the existing
filename first.  If that fails, attempt to load the alternate filename.

I've echo'd that we are loading the alternate file to counter the
output from "afs load" when the first load attempt fails.  For example,
I see this output on my Juno board:

    image "Image" not found in flash
    Loading norkern instead of Image
    loaded region 0 from 08500000 to 80000000, 00AB6318 bytes
    image "juno" not found in flash
    Loading board.dtb instead of juno
    loaded region 0 from 0A000000 to 83000000, 00003188 bytes
