[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 1/2] image: android: allow booting lz4-compressed kernels

According to Android image format [1], kernel image resides at 1 page
offset from the boot image address. Grab the magic number from there
and allow U-Boot to handle LZ4-compressed KNL binaries instead of
hardcoding compression type to IH_COMP_NONE. Other compression types,
if needed, can be added later.

Tested on H3ULCB-KF using the image detailed in [2].

[1] Excerpt from include/android_image.h
    +-----------------+
    | boot header     | 1 page
    +-----------------+
    | kernel          | n pages
    +-----------------+
    | ramdisk         | m pages
    +-----------------+
    | second stage    | o pages
    +-----------------+

v2:
 - [Marek] Relocate LZ4F_MAGIC from lib/lz4_wrapper.c to
   include/image.h. This could be factored out into a standalone
   non-functional change if needed (having it included in this patch
   reveals its true purpose though)
 - [Marek] Use get_unaligned() primitive in accordance with
   doc/README.unaligned-memory-access.txt. NOTE: get_unaligned_le32()
   looks more appropriate, since the lz4 magic is stored in LE32:
   https://github.com/lz4/lz4/blob/f66abc45d9b96/lib/lz4frame.c#L659
 - Drop switch-case in favor of if-else, since the magic numbers
   of other compression types are not necessarily 32-bit wide
   (handling a void pointer looks to be more generic)
 - Keep android_image_get_kcomp() of type 'ulong' to please the eye
   (to stay in harmony with other android_image_get_* functions), even
   if its true return value merely needs a signed/unsigned int
 - Static analysis: sparse, smatch and `make W=1` are all silent
 - Runtime: boot-tested on H3ULCB-KF using an Android boot image
   containing a lz4-compressed kernel
