[U-Boot] [ANN] U-Boot v2020.01-rc1 released

[Tom Rini]

Hey all,

It's a few days past release day, and here finally is v2020.01-rc1.  The
delay was over hoping to be able to pull in one more big clean up series
that we need, and I want to take, but needs a little more work.  Doing
that has also put me behind on grabbing a number of outstanding patches
here and there, which I'm going to get on with next.

In terms of a changelog, 
git log --merges v2019.10..v2020.01-rc1
looks pretty good but the content there varies based on what was given
to me in the PR.  So please, the more details in the request the better!

A few things to call out.  As I've said before, we need to get off of
python2 with this release and we're on track I believe.  Simon has
posted a series for almost everything that's not converted other than
test.py and I have a series for test.py.  I plan to merge the test.py
stuff shortly.  Next, Bin Meng added support for Azure Pipelines.  One
reason I'm calling this out is that it is noticeably faster than
Travis-CI.  For everything I pushed now, GitLab CI took 2 hours, Azure
took 2 hours 20 minutes and Travis is still going (3 hours 34 minutes as
I write).  It may be worth considering setting this up and trying it, if
you're currently using Travis-CI before posting patches / PRs.

I'm planning on doing -rc2 on the 11th and -rc3 on the 25th of September with
-rc4 on December 9th and -rc5 on December 23rd with the release scheduled on
January 6th.  Thanks all!
