[U-Boot] [RFC/RFT U-Boot PATCH] image: Add Image.gz parsing support in booti.

Add gz parsing logic so that booti can parse both Image
and Image.gz to boot Linux. Currently, it is difficult to calculate
a safe address for every board where the Image.gz can be decompressed.
It is also not possible to figure out the size of the compressed file
as well. Thus, user need to set two additional environment variables
kernel_gz_addr_r and kernel_gz_size to make Image.gz work.
Tested on HiFive Unleashed and Qemu for RISC-V.

I could not test this patch on any ARM64 devices due to lack of
access to any ARM64 board. If anybody can test it on ARM64, that
would be great.
