[PATCH v1] configs: aquila-am69: Set ENV_MMC_EMMC_HW_PARTITION and ENV_RELOC_GD_ENV_ADDR

[Vitor Soares]

From: Vitor Soares <vitor.soares@toradex.com>

Set CONFIG_ENV_MMC_EMMC_HW_PARTITION=1 to store the environment in the
eMMC first hardware boot partition instead of defaulting to 0 (user
data area), where the rootfs and data partitions normally reside,
risking corruption. This keeps the full boot stack self-contained in
the eMMC hardware boot partition.

Enable CONFIG_ENV_RELOC_GD_ENV_ADDR so that gd->env_addr is adjusted by
the relocation offset during U-Boot relocation. Without it, gd->env_addr
keeps pointing to the pre-relocation address of the default
environment, leading to incorrect environment access before env_load()
completes.
