[PATCH] distro_bootcmd: Add support for loading user environment

U-Boot supports loading a user environment from a file in the
file-system. Therefore to make it easier for users to override the
default environment, add support to the 'distro_bootcmd' to look for
and load a user environment in a file called 'uEnv.txt' in the same
locations where an extlinux.conf or boot script might be found.

Note that by importing the environment with the '-t' option, the current
environment is appended/updated rather than replaced completely.
