[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 01/13] sandbox: Improve debugging in initcall_run_list()

At present if one of the initcalls fails on sandbox the address printing
is not help, e.g.:
initcall sequence 0000557678967c80 failed at call 00005576709dfe1f (err=-96)
This is because U-Boot gets relocated high into memory and the relocation
offset (gd->reloc_off) does not work correctly for sandbox.
Add support for finding the base address of the text region (at least on
Linux) and use that to set the relocation offset. This makes the output
better:
initcall sequence 0000560775957c80 failed at call 0000000000048134 (err=-96)
Then you use can use grep to see which init call failed, e.g.:
$ grep 0000000000048134 u-boot.map
stdio_add_devices
Of course another option is to run it with a debugger such as gdb:
$ gdb u-boot
...
(gdb) br initcall.h:41
Breakpoint 1 at 0x4db9d: initcall.h:41. (2 locations)
Note that two locations are reported, since this function is used in both
board_init_f() and board_init_r().

Changes in v2:
- Adjust code to allow it to work before relocation also
- Update commit message to take account of initcall.h being in a header
- Add documentation to README.sandbox
