This patch builds on Heinrich Schuchardt's series that add 
CONFIG_SPL_SIZE_LIMIT to check maximum image size (after potentially 
adding image headers):

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1074741/

I just now realize I have forgotton to add that dependency to the patch 
mail.

However, we do have numerous max size defines. This patch tries to bring 
a better calculation for the maximum SPL image size by taking SRAM size 
and subtracting what's required in addition to the binary size.

In general, the different max size defines could need a cleanup as well, 
I guess...
