[PATCH v8 1/2] spl: remove usage of CMD_BOOTx from image parsing

Using CMD_* configs from spl doesn't make logical sense. Therefore this
patch replaces the checks for CMD_BOOTx with newly added library symbols
BOOTI, BOOTM and BOOTZ which are enabled by their respective CMD_* or
SPL_* counterparts.

SPL_BOOTZ is enabled by default for 32-bit ARM systems and SPL_BOOTI is
enabled by default for 64-bit ARM and RISCV.

The respective C files (image.c/zimage.c) are compiled based on library
symbols BOOTx instead which are in turn selected by both CMD_BOOTx and
SPL_BOOTx as required.
