[PATCH v4 01/11] Makefile: add SPL_REMAKE_ELF_LDSCRIPT feature

From: Michael Srba <Michael.Srba at seznam.cz>
Some platforms (e.g. least Qualcomm), use the ELF format in creative
ways, including in the bootrom. Make SPL_REMAKE_ELF use a linker script
specified in SPL_REMAKE_ELF_LDSCRIPT (with the previously hardcoded path
as the default).
