Move video memory reservation for SPL at end of RAM so that it does
not interefere with reservations for next stage so that the next stage
need not have holes in between for passed regions and instead it can
maintain continuity in reservations.

Also catch the bloblist before starting reservations to avoid the same
problem.

While at it, also fill missing fields in video handoff struct before
passing it to next stage.

This is as per discussions at :

Changelog:
V2:
- Make a generic function to reserve video memory at SPL stage
- Add debug prints while skipping framebuffer allocation at uboot
- Correct commenting style as suggested

V3: 
- Change spl_reserve_video to spl_reserve_video_from_ram_top
  which enforce framebuffer reservation from end of RAM
- Use gd->ram_top instead of local ram_top and update
  gd->reloc_addr after each reservation
- Print error message on framebuffer reservation
- Update SPL doc with spl splash screen specific info
