LDR format files are used primarily by Analog Devices processors but may
be of interest to other vendors. Previously support existed for this
format as part of the U-Boot build, but it has been unmaintained and
unused for a long time. In preparation for adding support for modern ADI
processors that use LDR, modernize the LDR support:
- Introduce CONFIG_LDR_CPU as the CPU string recognized by the LDR tool
may not be the same as CONFIG_CPU
- Add an SPL target that repackages u-boot-spl inside an LDR file
An almost identical target for packaging u-boot into an LDR file already
exists and did not need to be updated
