[PATCH 5/5] Add multi environment support

From: Luotao Fu <l.fu at pengutronix.de>

We can deal with multiple environments now in our barebox. With this option
enabled barebox will scan all environment partions on start up and load the
environment from the first loadable environment partition it finds. Also it will
check the content of all environment parttions and autmotically synchronize
content of any outdated partition.
