[U-Boot] [PATCH 04/11] env: make nowhere an env medium like the others

Since we now allow the loading of different environment media by
priority, we can mimic the current fallback system with nowhere medium
by adding a load function to the nowhere driver (and make it the medium
with the lowest priority).

Nowhere then becomes a valid environment medium.

This also makes it possible to either enforce the value of some
variables by using nowhere medium when using it as secondary environment
or to completely enforce all the environment variables except a few from
a secondary environment when using it as base environment.
