[PATCH v2] fastboot: Add OEM run command

This adds the UUU UCmd functionality as an OEM command. While the
fastboot tool allows sending arbitrary commands as long as they are
prefixed with "oem". This allows running generic U-Boot commands over
fastboot without UUU, which is especially useful when not using USB.
This is really the route we should have gone in the first place when
adding these commands.

While we're here, clean up the Kconfig a bit.

+Running Shell Commands
+----------------------
+
+Normally, arbitrary U-Boot command execution is not enabled. This is so
+fastboot can be used to update systems using verified boot. However, such
+functionality can be useful for production or when verified boot is not in use.
+Enable ``CONFIG_FASTBOOT_UUU_SUPPORT`` to use this functionality. This will
+enable the ``UCmd`` and ``ACmd`` commands for use with UUU [3]_. It also
+enables the ``oem run`` command, which can be used with the fastboot client.
+For example, to print "Hello world", run::
+
+    $ fastboot oem run:echo Hello world
