[U-Boot] [PATCH V2] Restore compatibility of image type IDs

Commit a2b96ece5be146f4995d737f047e5bbb76079b8f breaks the enumeration
of the Image Types. New image types can be appended, but they cannot be
inserted in the list else backward compatibility is broken.

This restores the images types as before 2018.11 and move i.MX8 related
images at the end.

- inprove comments in the structure to make clear that 
just append is allowed.
