[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 1/1] efi_loader: rework fdt handling in distro boot script

The current scenario for default UEFI booting, scan_dev_for_efi, has
several issues:
* load dtb dynamically even if its loacation (device) is not the same
  as BOOTEFI_NAME binary's, (reported by Alex)
* invoke 'bootmgr' only if BOOTEFI_NAME binary does exit even though
  'bootmgr' can and should work independently whether or not the binary
  exist,
* in addition, invoke 'bootmgr' with dynamically-loaded dtb.
  This behavior is not expected. (reported by Alex)
* always assume that a 'fdtfile' variable is defined,
  ("test -e ${devtype} ${devnum}:${distro_bootpart} "${prefix}${efi_fdtfile}"
  always returns true even if fdtfile is NULL with prefix=="/".)
* redundantly check for 'fdt_addr_r' in boot_efi_binary

In this patch, all the issues above are sorted out.
Please note that the default behavior can be customized with:
	fdtfile: a dtb file name
	efi_dtb_prefixes: a list of paths for searching for a dtb file

(this feature does work even without this patch.)
