[PATCH v2] bootstd: android: Add U-Boot version to cmdline

When booting into Android fastbootd (a subset of recovery), the default
UI shows the bootloader version in the screen [1].
This is done via the ro.bootloader property which should come from the
bootloader.

Provide the U-Boot version via a kernel commandline argument so that
fastbootd can show it properly on the screen.
