Add target to generate initial environment
The initial environment is linked to the u-boot binary. Modifying the environment from User Space with the env tools requires that the tools are always built together with the bootloader to be sure that they contain the initial environment in case no environment is stored into persistent storage or when a board boots with just the default environment. This makes difficult for distros to provide a general package to access the environment. A simpler way is if the tools are generic for all boards and a configuration file is given to provide the initial environment. The patch just generates the initial environment by extracting it from the compiled object. This file can then be used for tools in user space to initialize the environment.
