[U-Boot] [PATCH] Add support for setting environment variable from RAM.

[Eric Nelson (Boundary Devices) <eric.nelson@boundarydevices.com>]

This is useful for allowing scripts to read environment variables from
file, among other things.

This is a slightly modified version of what Alessandro submitted to the
mailing list last July:
	http://www.mail-archive.com/u-boot-users at lists.sourceforge.net/msg07932.html

I changed the name from 'setenvram' to 'ramenv' to prevent breakage of scripts
that use the abbreviation 'set' (which my handss have the habit of doing).
