U-Boot has the ability to store its environment variables to a permanent
storage device. Whether or not it does so for any one specific device
depends on whatever settings are enabled in that specific device's
defconfig. In order to definitively configure U-Boot to be able to store
its environment into the device from which it boots, for any device
supported in this BSP, simply add the following to MACHINE_FEATURES:

	rk-u-boot-env

If enabled, there is now a second choice to make: should the build also
include the U-Boot environment in the image or not? The default environment,
as generated by U-Boot, can be included in the generated wic image. If it
is included, then flashing the image will also flash the default U-Boot
environment variables and settings, wiping out anything that might have been
there already. If it is not included then your device will either continue
using whatever environment happens to be there (if valid), or will not use any
stored environment if the stored environment has not been set or is invalid.
The variable which governs this behaviour is:

	RK_IMAGE_INCLUDES_UBOOT_ENV

By default this is set to "0", meaning that by default the image does not
contain the U-Boot environment. To enable this behaviour, enable this
variable. This variable only takes effect if rk-u-boot-env is listed in
MACHINE_FEATURES, and has no effect otherwise.

The script:

	scripts/dump-uboot-env-from-yocto-image.sh

can be used on a rockchip wic image to see the contents of the U-Boot
environment partition at build time.

Tested by booting the same image on both eMMC and SDcard with the following
devices, verifying the ability to read and write the U-Boot environment in
both U-Boot and Linux user-space, and that changes made in one are seen in the
other:
	rock-3a
	rock-5a
	rock-5b
	rock-pi-4b
	rock-pi-e
	rock64

v4 changes:
- sort WICVARS alphabetically
- tweak dump-uboot-env-from-yocto-image.sh script to not just check for
  the existence of the user-supplied parameter, but that it is a file
  specifically
- u-boot bbappend:
  - use a do_compile[postfuncs] for generating the fw_env.config instead of
    a do_compile:append
  - move the conversion of the U-Boot text-based environment to the
    require binary representation from a do_deploy:append to the newly-created
    do_compile[postfuncs] created above, this will allow the user to inject
    any extra U-Boot environment variables they might wish as part of a
    do_compile:append and have that occur before the binary is generated
    so that those additional user-supplied values are included
  - add a lot of extra checking (instead of assuming various resources exist)
    before making use of said resources

v3 changes:
- switch from using a bbclass so the `rk-u-boot-env` override can be used
  directly
- add SPDX header to script
- drop `inherit deploy` in U-Boot bbappend

v2 changes:
- re-word the commit message and README for clarity
- use bash's built-in math handling instead of depending on `bc`
- in anticipation of the upcoming feature in U-Boot whereby rockchip
  devices can automatically select the environment storage device to be
  the same as the boot device, use a more recent SRCREV for builds that do
  environment handling, instead of hardcoding the environment storage device
  by SoC family
- handle RK_IMAGE_INCLUDES_UBOOT_ENV as a boolean
