[PATCH 3/4] environment: Support env from file in a file-system via device tree

Current barebox,environment node only allows specifying a raw device or
partition to load an environment from. Some boards, like OMAP and
SoCFPGA, instead want to use a file located in a FAT filesystem.
Extend the device tree bindings with a new property 'file-path' that
will trigger this behavior.
This allows any board using this driver to get the env from a file or
from a raw device, instead of each machine type being either raw
device only or file only.
