[RFC PATCH v1] tools: imx8image: add possibility to skip dcd

Currently U-Boot always adds DCD Image to boot container.
On imx8qxp SoC it is possible to init RAM from within SCFW,
and adding a DCD image type to the boot container in this case
breaks booting (No debug output anymore from SCFW! Nor any
output from SPL), so we need to configure a dcd skip somehow.

This patch adds a new imx8image_cmd entry CMD_DCD_SKIP and a
new entry in imximage.cfg "DCD_SKIP". If set to "true"
no DCD image type will be added to the container.

Currently siemens board deneb does not longer boot with mainline
as with the newest firmware used on this board, RAM init is done
in SCFW. Just working on a rework of this board support, but post
this patch now, as it is ready for comments and independent from
board changes.
