In this commit, a very simple firmware management protocol driver
is implemented. It will take a common FIT image firmware in a capsule
file and apply the data using dfu backend storage drivers via
update_fit() interface.
So "dfu_alt_info" variable should be properly set to specify a device
and location to be updated. Please read README.dfu.
Fit image is a common file format for firmware update on U-Boot, and
this protocol works neatly just as a wrapper for one.

A capsule tagged with the guid, EFI_FIRMWARE_MANAGEMENT_CAPSULE_ID_GUID,
is handled as a firmware update object.
What efi_update_capsule() basically does is to load any firmware management
protocol (or fmp) drivers contained in a capsule, find out an appropriate
fmp driver and then invoke its set_image() interface against each binary
in a capsule.
In this commit, however, loading drivers is not supported.
The result of applying a capsule is set to be stored in "CapsuleXXXX"
variable, but its implementation is deferred to a fmp driver.

Capsule data can be loaded into the system either via UpdateCapsule
runtime service or files on a file system (of boot device).
The latter case is called "capsules on disk", and actual updates will
take place at the next boot time.
In this commit, we will support capsule on disk mechanism.
Please note that U-Boot itself has no notion of "boot device" and
all the capsule files to be executed will be detected only if they
are located in a specific directory, \EFI\UpdateCapsule, on a device
that is identified as a boot device by "BootXXXX" variables.

In this commit, skeleton functions for capsule-related API's are
added under CONFIG_EFI_UPDATE_CAPSULE configuration.
Detailed implementation for a specific capsule type will be added
in the succeeding patches.
