[PATCH] boot: fix missing dependency for BOOTMETH_ANDROID

From: Quentin Schulz <quentin.schulz at cherry.de>

The code depends on set_avendor_bootimg_addr and set_abootimg_addr
functions which are only defined in cmd/abootimg.c, only built when
CMD_ABOOTIMG=y so let's add a dependency.

It should be "depends on" to be properly implemented, but we get a
circular dependency otherwise:
boot/Kconfig:566:error: recursive dependency detected!
boot/Kconfig:566:	symbol BOOTMETH_ANDROID depends on CMD_ABOOTIMG
cmd/Kconfig:504:	symbol CMD_ABOOTIMG depends on ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE
boot/Kconfig:7:	symbol ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE is selected by BOOTMETH_ANDROID

so instead we do a select. It is safe because CMD_ABOOTIMG depends on
ANDROID_BOOT_IMAGE which we select here as well.

Fixes: 125d9f3306ea ("bootstd: Add a bootmeth for Android")
