Allow to flash a board using NXP UUU utility:
- Enable fastboot support on USB.
- Add fastboot partition aliases with names used by UUU. Also add extra
  environment variables used by UUU.
- Set 'dofastboot' environment variable based on boot device
  configuration, allowing to automatically enter fastboot when booting
  from USB.

Changes in v2:
- Add section describing use of uuu in board documentation.
- Fix SD card device id (sd_dev).
- Update USB gadget vendor id and manufacturer name.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250911-mathieu-frdm_imx93_fastboot-v1-1-c629d8b7c8cc@bootlin.com
