[PATCH v4] cmd: Add pause command

This command is being introduced with the goal of allowing user-friendly
"generic use case" U-Boot builds to pause until user input under some
situations.

The main use case would be when a boot failure happens, to pause until
the user has had time to acknowledge the current state.

Tested using:

    make && ./u-boot -v -T -c 'ut lib lib_test_hush_pause'

Hi!

I believe everything is addressed. I took the comment about the sort
order being wonky as needing no changes.

Changes for v4
  - No functional change in command, mainly code style
  - Addressed nits
  - Added missing docs
  - Wrote test fully in code

Changes for v3
  - No functional change in patch
  - Sent with lines unwrapped
  - Added changelog

Changes for v2
  - Added test, as requested by Tom
  - Made CMD_PAUSE default n

+pause command
+=============
+
+Synopsis
+--------
+
+::
+
+    pause [prompt]
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The pause command delays execution waiting for any user input.
+
+It can accept a single parameter to change the prompt message.
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+Using with the default prompt:
+
+::
+
+    => pause
+    Press any key to continue...
+
+
+Using with a custom prompt:
+
+::
+
+    => pause 'Prompt for pause...'
+    Prompt for pause...
+
+Note that complex prompts require proper quoting:
+
+::
+
+    => pause Prompt for pause...
+    pause - delay until user input
+    
+    Usage:
+    pause [prompt] - Wait until users presses any key. [prompt] can be used to customize the message.
+
+Return value
+------------
+
+The return value $? is always set to 0 (true), unless invoked in an invalid
+manner.
