efi: Add support for loading U-Boot through an EFI stub

It is useful to be able to load U-Boot onto a board even if is it already
running EFI. This can allow access to the U-Boot command interface, flexible
booting options and easier development.

The easiest way to do this is to build U-Boot as a binary blob and have an
EFI stub copy it into RAM. Add support for this feature, targeting 32-bit
initially.

Also add a way to detect when U-Boot has been loaded via a stub. This goes
in common.h since it needs to be widely available so that we avoid redoing
initialisation that should be skipped.
