[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 3/4] boot/uboot: add option to pass custom variables to U-Boot build

U-Boot supports a number of environment variables to pass specific
information. The following patches were submitted in the past to one
some specific Config.in option to pass some of these variables:

 - http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/881197/ proposed an option to
   pass a custom EXT_DTB= variable

 - http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1018245/ proposed an option to
   pass a custom DEVICE_TREE= variable

Instead of adding one Config.in option for each of those variables,
let's provide a generic mechanism to pass arbitrary variables during
U-Boot build step.
