MIPS: Add support for vmlinuz.bin appended dtb

Browse Source 
Add support for detecting a vmlinuz.bin appended dtb and overriding
the boot arguments to match the UHI interface.

To ensure _edata / __apendend_dtb points to the actual end of the
binary, align the data section to 16 bytes instead of the address
cursor.

Due to ld.script not going through the preprocessor, we can't check
for MIPS_ZBOOT_APPENDED_DTB being enabled, so always reserve space
for it. It should have no consequences for booting without it enabled
except 1 MiB more ram usage during the uncompressing stage.

help
With this option, the boot code will look for a device tree binary
DTB) appended to raw vmlinuz.bin (with decompressor).
(e.g. cat vmlinuz.bin <filename>.dtb > vmlinuz_w_dtb).
This is meant as a backward compatibility convenience for those
systems with a bootloader that can't be upgraded to accommodate
the documented boot protocol using a device tree.
Beware that there is very little in terms of protection against
this option being confused by leftover garbage in memory that might
look like a DTB header after a reboot if no actual DTB is appended
to vmlinuz.bin. Do not leave this option active in a production kernel
if you don't intend to always append a DTB.
