[PATCH] Add optional salt to AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR_SHA256

From: Joel Peshkin <joel.peshkin at broadcom.com>

Adds an optional SALT value to AUTOBOOT_STOP_STR_SHA256.   If a string 
followed by a ":" is prepended to the sha256, the portion to the left 
of the colon will be used as a salt and the password will be appended
to the salt before the sha256 is computed and compared.
