[PATCH v2 1/9] spl: Add generic spl_load function

Implementers of SPL_LOAD_IMAGE_METHOD have to correctly determine what
type of image is being loaded and then call the appropriate image load
function correctly. This is tricky, because some image load functions
expect the whole image to already be loaded (CONFIG_SPL_LOAD_FIT_FULL),
some will load the image automatically using spl_load_info.read()
(CONFIG_SPL_LOAD_FIT/CONFIG_SPL_LOAD_IMX_CONTAINER), and some just parse
the header and expect the caller to do the actual loading afterwards
(legacy/raw images). Load methods often only support a subset of the
above methods, meaning that not all image types can be used with all
load methods. Further, the code to invoke these functions is
duplicated between different load functions.

To address this problem, this commit introduces a "spl_load" function.
It aims to handle image detection and correct invocation of each of the
parse/load functions. spl_simple_read is a wrapper around
spl_load_info.read with get_aligned_image* functions inlined for size
purposes. Additionally, we assume that bl_len is a power of 2 so we can
do bitshifts instead of divisions (which is smaller and faster).

Changes in v2:
- Use reverse-xmas-tree style for locals in spl_simple_read. This is not
  complete, since overhead depends on bl_mask.
