[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] arm: socfpga: do not reboot via SRAM

This removes the code that enables the Boot ROM to just jump to SRAM
instead of loading SPL from the original boot source on warm reboot.

The reason for removing this is that it is insecure: SRAM might be
overwritten at the time the warm reboot is done. Instead, use the default
behaviour of loading SPL from the configured boot source medium.

Changes in v2:
- remove the compatibility code restoring the old "reboot from SRAM"
  behaviour via an env var callback as it turned out such a hack should
  not be included by default
- (v1 patch subject was: "arm: socfpga: control reboot from SRAM via env
  callback")
