[PATCH v2] Make list of flash images and fix link all single image cases

Create a new file named 'barebox-flash-images' in the top level output
directory that lists each image generated, one per line.  Paths will
be relative to the top level output directory.  This works if multiple
images are generated as well as for a single image.

Also update the existing barebox-flash-image symlink to point to the
image in all cases where there is a single image generated.  If
multiple images are generated, it will point to the non-existent file
'multi-image-build'.

This version makes a list, and thus works in a multiple images case
and presents a way forward for build systems like buildroot.

It also updates the link.  While a symlink is no longer ideal, if you
consider the two possibilities:
A) A link is made in all single image builds.
B) A link is made in some single image builds but not others, based
on an obscure detail in the internal build system that few barebox 
users are aware of.

It seems clear that A is more sensible than B.

In a multiple image build, the link is made but points to a non-existent
file whose name should clue the user in as to why it doesn't point to
an image.  This has the nice effect that with the current buildroot,
one gets an error in a multiple image build rather than buildroot silently
using the incorrect image file.
