[PATCH v2 04/14] spl: ufs: add SPL_UFS_FS Kconfig and filesystem boot stub

Add a new SPL_UFS_FS Kconfig option to enable filesystem-based boot
from UFS (FAT or EXT4). When selected, a UFS_MODE_FS case is added
to the boot-mode switch in spl_ufs_load() raw mode on failure.

The filesystem path is currently a stub that
returns -ENOSYS, serving as a placeholder for future implementation.
