[PATCH v2] bbu: command: update via TFTP if no image given

Booting barebox over TFTP is a common operation that even has a default
boot target: `boot bnet`.

Once, a chainloaded barebox was tested to work, it may need to be
persisted, which needs a cumbersome:

  barebox_update /mnt/tftp/${global.user}-barebox-${global.hostname}

Make this more straight-forward by interpreting barebox_update called
without any non-option argument to mean just that.

v1 -> v2:
   - only fallback to /mnt/tftp if TFTP filesystem support is enabled
   - allocate pathbuffer dynamically instead of on the stack (Sascha)
