[PATCH v4 4/5] env: Allow environment files to use the C preprocessor

[Simon Glass]

In many cases environment variables need access to the U-Boot CONFIG
variables to select different options. Enable this so that the environment
scripts can be as useful as the ones currently in the board config files.

Also support += to allow variables to be appended to. This is needed when
using the preprocessor.

Changes in v4:
- Add documentation in rST format instead of README

Changes in v3:
- Define __UBOOT_CONFIG__ when collecting environment files

Changes in v2:
- Add separate patch to enable C preprocessor for environment files
- Enable var+=value form to simplify composing variables in multiple steps

+To add additional text to a variable you can use var+=value. This text is
+merged into the variable during the make process and made available as a

+This file can include C-style comments. Blank lines and multi-line

 For example, for snapper9260 you would create a text file called
 `board/bluewater/env/snapper9260.env` containing the environment text.
