qemu-arm: Add persistent environment support

Currently on qemu-arm platforms environment is kept in RAM. Instead
use pflash device 1 to provide persistent environment support across
device reset.

Also (optionally) provide support for persistent environment across
qemu machine OFF/ON using following instructions:

- Create envstore.img using qemu-img:
    qemu-img create -f raw envstore.img 64M
- Add a pflash drive parameter to the command line:
    -drive if=pflash,format=raw,index=1,file=envstore.img

 Note that for some odd reason qemu-system-aarch64 needs to be explicitly
 told to use a 64-bit CPU or it will boot in 32-bit mode.
 
+Additional persistent U-boot environment support can be added as follows:
+- Create envstore.img using qemu-img:
+    qemu-img create -f raw envstore.img 64M
+- Add a pflash drive parameter to the command line:

 Additional peripherals that have been tested to work in both U-Boot and Linux
 can be enabled with the following command line parameters:
