From: Frank Wunderlich <frank-w at public-files.de>

Add a command for getting detected ram size with possibility to
assign it to an environment variable.

example usage:

BPI-R4> memsize
4096 MiB
BPI-R4> memsize memsz
BPI-R4> printenv memsz
memsz=4096
BPI-R4>

board with 8GB ram:

BPI-R4> memsize
8192 MiB
BPI-R4> memsize memsz
BPI-R4> printenv memsz
memsz=8192
BPI-R4>

v6: add missing return for error in env_set_ulong
v5: move msize to meminfo and drop first param (always display as MiB)
    rename msize to memsize
v4: drop rounding to full MB/GB as it leads to wrong display
v3: add missing ifdefs
v2: add Kconfig entry
