[PATCH] ARM: k3: allow to take signing key from environment variable

This adds a new Kconfig option CONFIG_ARCH_K3_SIGNING_KEY_ENV. With
this option enabled the content of CONFIG_ARCH_K3_SIGNING_KEY is treated
as the name of an environment variable from which the private key
file/uri is taken. This allows for better integration with build
systems.
