[PATCH 2/2] globalvar: add helpers for stashing global variables

Configuring a FIT image boot with overlays involves setting not only
global.bootm.* variables, but also global.of.overlay.* variables.
For use in custom boot entry functions, provide functions for stashing
and restoring a set of variables. This allows dry run and boot fallback
behavior to not affect later boot attempts.
