[PATCH 1/2] blspec: allow board files to overwrite config file settings

This commit adds the support to overwrite and/or adapt blspec config
files by the following global variables:
- global.blspec.fixup.devicetree
- global.blspec.fixup.initrd
- global.blspec.fixup.options
- global.blspec.fixup.linux
- global.blspec.fixup.devicetree-overlay.
Overwriting blspec-config's shouldn't be the normal case but there are
cases where this support is needed. One use-case can be a special
handling during update. E.g. the normal boot-flow don't need the initrd
but the update-flow uses it because the update system is on the initrd.
Another use-case could be a dynamic devicetree-overlay handling. E.g.
the board code dynamically checks which periphery boards are connected
and adds the required overlays dynamically.
A warning is printed if a already set option is overwritten to identify
unintended wrong boot behaviour early.
