[PATCH 06/18] blspec: collect bootloader spec entries from ESP

The spec points out that spec entries should be collected from ESP, even
when XBOOTLDR partitions exist, but at a lower priority.
Implement this logic in barebox. As barebox as EFI payload systems have
an ESP, but may have the bootloader spec files in a separate partition,
we can't skip the walk through all partitions when we have an ESP like
we do for XBOOTLDR partitions.
