The 'trab' board configuration is broken, and there is nobody who is
interested and willing to fix it.  Drop it.

This includes support for VFD displays which have always been used by
this board only.

<title>Handle most LDSCRIPT setting centrally</title>

Currently, some linker scripts are found by common code in config.mk.
Some are found using CONFIG_SYS_LDSCRIPT, but the code for that is
sometimes in arch config.mk and sometimes in board config.mk.  Some
are found using an arch-specific rule for looking in CPUDIR, etc.

Further, the powerpc config.mk rule relied on CONFIG_NAND_SPL
when it really wanted CONFIG_NAND_U_BOOT -- which covered up the fact
that not all NAND_U_BOOT builds actually wanted CPUDIR/u-boot-nand.lds.

Replace all of this -- except for a handful of boards that are actually
selecting a linker script in a unique way -- with centralized ldscript
finding.

If board code specifies LDSCRIPT, that will be used.
Otherwise, if CONFIG_SYS_LDSCRIPT is specified, that will be used.

If neither of these are specified, then the central config.mk will
check for the existence of the following, in order:

$(TOPDIR)/board/$(BOARDDIR)/u-boot-nand.lds (only if CONFIG_NAND_U_BOOT)
$(TOPDIR)/$(CPUDIR)/u-boot-nand.lds (only if CONFIG_NAND_U_BOOT)
$(TOPDIR)/board/$(BOARDDIR)/u-boot.lds
$(TOPDIR)/$(CPUDIR)/u-boot.lds

Some boards (sc3, cm5200, munices) provided their own u-boot.lds that
were dead code, because they were overridden by a CPUDIR u-boot.lds under
the old powerpc rules.  These boards' own u-boot.lds have bitrotted and
no longer work -- these lds files have been removed.

Currently, _end is used for end of BSS section.  We want _end to mean
end of u-boot image, so we rename _end to __bss_end__ first.

<title>Switch from archive libraries to partial linking</title>

Before this commit, weak symbols were not overridden by non-weak symbols
found in archive libraries when linking with recent versions of
binutils.  As stated in the System V ABI, "the link editor does not
extract archive members to resolve undefined weak symbols".

This commit changes all Makefiles to use partial linking (ld -r) instead
of creating library archives, which forces all symbols to participate in
linking, allowing non-weak symbols to override weak symbols as intended.
This approach is also used by Linux, from which the gmake function
cmd_link_o_target (defined in config.mk and used in all Makefiles) is
inspired.

The name of each former library archive is preserved except for
extensions which change from ".a" to ".o".  This commit updates
references accordingly where needed, in particular in some linker
scripts.

This commit reveals board configurations that exclude some features but
include source files that depend these disabled features in the build,
resulting in undefined symbols.  Known such cases include:
- disabling CMD_NET but not CMD_NFS;
- enabling CONFIG_OF_LIBFDT but not CONFIG_QE.

The change is currently needed to be able to remove the board
configuration scripting from the top level Makefile and replace it by
a simple, table driven script.

Moving this configuration setting into the "CONFIG_*" name space is
also desirable because it is needed if we ever should move forward to
a Kconfig driven configuration system.

<title>Rename getenv_r() into getenv_f()</title>

While running from flash, i. e. before relocation, we have only a
limited C runtime environment without writable data segment. In this
phase, some configurations (for example with environment in EEPROM)
must not use the normal getenv(), but a special function.  This
function had been called getenv_r(), with the idea that the "_r"
suffix would mean the same as in the _r_eentrant versions of some of
the C library functions (for example getdate vs. getdate_r, getgrent
vs. getgrent_r, etc.).

Unfortunately this was a misleading name, as in U-Boot the "_r"
generally means "running from RAM", i. e. _after_ relocation.

To avoid confusion, rename into getenv_f() [as "running from flash"]

Lots of code use this construct:

	cmd_usage(cmdtp);
	return 1;

Change cmd_usage() let it return 1 - then we can replace all these
ocurrances by

	return cmd_usage(cmdtp);

This fixes a few places with incorrect return code handling, too.

<title>Make sure that argv[] argument pointers are not modified.</title>

The hush shell dynamically allocates (and re-allocates) memory for the
argument strings in the "char *argv[]" argument vector passed to
commands.  Any code that modifies these pointers will cause serious
corruption of the malloc data structures and crash U-Boot, so make
sure the compiler can check that no such modifications are being done
by changing the code into "char * const argv[]".

This modification is the result of debugging a strange crash caused
after adding a new command, which used the following argument
processing code which has been working perfectly fine in all Unix
systems since version 6 - but not so in U-Boot:

int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
	while (--argc &gt; 0 &amp;&amp; **++argv == '-') {
/* ====&gt; */	while (*++*argv) {
			switch (**argv) {
			case 'd':
				debug++;
				break;
			...
			default:
				usage ();
			}
		}
	}
	...
}

The line marked "====&gt;" will corrupt the malloc data structures and
usually cause U-Boot to crash when the next command gets executed by
the shell.  With the modification, the compiler will prevent this with
an
	error: increment of read-only location '*argv'

N.B.: The code above can be trivially rewritten like this:

	while (--argc &gt; 0 &amp;&amp; **++argv == '-') {
		char *arg = *argv;
		while (*++arg) {
			switch (*arg) {
			...
