[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 1/6] spl: add Kconfig option to clear bss early

This introduces a new Kconfig option SPL_CLEAR_BSS_F. If enabled, it clears
the bss before calling board_init_f() instead of clearing it before calling
board_init_r().
This also ensures that variables placed in BSS can be shared between
board_init_f() and board_init_r() in SPL.
Make the new option depend on ARM for now until more implementations follow.
