This patch series adds the menu-driven boot device selection,
by extending the existing "bootmenu" to include UEFI and distro_boot
related entries, and supports menu-driven UEFI boot variable
maintenance.

This patch series also includes the removable media support
that UEFI specification requires to support.

The menu example is as follows.

  *** U-Boot Boot Menu ***

     bootmenu_00   : Boot 1. kernel
     bootmenu_01   : Boot 2. kernel
     bootmenu_02   : Reset board
     UEFI BOOT0000 : debian
     UEFI BOOT0001 : ubuntu
     UEFI BOOT0002 : mmc0:1
     UEFI BOOT0003 : mmc0:2
     UEFI BOOT0004 : nvme0:1
     UEFI BOOT0005 : nvme0:2
     UEFI BOOT0006 : usb0:2
     UEFI BOOT0007 : usb1:1
     UEFI BOOT0008 : usb1:2
     distro_boot   : usb0
     distro_boot   : scsi0
     distro_boot   : virtio0
     distro_boot   : dhcp

  Press UP/DOWN to move, ENTER to select, ESC/CTRL+C to quit

[Major changes from RFC v3]
- add Kconfig option to disable U-Boot console
- add UEFI boot variable maintenance feature
- support removable media support and user selection
- app bootmenu enhancement documentation

[How to run on QEMU(arm64)]
1) clone source code
 $ git clone https://git.linaro.org/people/masahisa.kojima/u-boot.git \
-b kojima/bootmenu_v4_upstream_0324 --depth 1

2) prepare U-Boot .config
 $ make qemu_arm64_menuconfig
  then, enable CONFIG_CMD_BOOTMENU and CONFIG_AUTOBOOT_MENU_SHOW

3) run on QEMU(arm64) example
 $ qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt,gic-version=3 -cpu cortex-a57 -m 4G -nographic \
   -no-acpi -bios ./u-boot.bin -hda xxx.img
