From: Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@gmail.com>

Changes from v1 (feedbacks from Ralf):

  o make DEBUG_ZBOOT also depend on DEBUG_KERNEL

  o DEBUG_ZBOOT already depends on SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT_UART16550 so simplify the
  obj-$(CONFIG_DEBUG_ZBOOT_UART16550) into just obj-$(CONFIG_DEBUG_ZBOOT) and
  no ifdef.

This patch adds a new DEBUG_ZBOOT option to allow the developers to
debug the compressed kernel support for a new board.
