[U-Boot] [PATCH v5 3/4] video: add an option for video simplefb via DT

Add an option to indicate that the video driver should setup a SimpleFB
node that passes the video framebuffer initialized by U-Boot to the
operating system kernel.

Currently only the Allwinner DE1 driver uses this option, and the
definition of this option in the sunxi-common.h config header is
converted to an imply of this option from CONFIG_VIDEO_SUNXI.

Changes in v5:
- Convert Allwinner DE1 to use the option.
Changes in v4:
- Remove the dependency of VIDEO_DT_SIMPLEFB.
