[PATCH] tools: mkimage: Allow changing U-Boot image magic

Extend mkimage with a new optional option -M to specify a special U-Boot
image magic number. OpenWrt ships images for about 30 different boards
with vendor boot loaders which are expecting the mkimage format, but
with a different image magic.
OpenWrt includes this patch for mkimage more than 10 years.
It was added by Gabor Juhos in this commit:
