We already have an option BR2_TARGET_BAREBOX_CUSTOM_ENV_PATH, which if
I understand correctly, generates a Barebox environment image (but not
built into the Barebox binary itself).

Wouldn't it make more sense to simply add a boolean option that says
whether the Barebox environment should be built-in or not? Something
like:

	(board/foo/bar/barebox.env) Environment path
	[*] Embed the environment in the image

Best regards,

Thomas
