[PATCH 08/10] boot: drop the dyn infix from the bootentries bootargs variable

blspec and extlinux pass the options of a boot entry to the Kernel in
global.linux.bootargs.dyn.bootentries. The dyn infix used to be
necessary for boot_entry() to clear the variable again after a boot
entry returned. Now that boot_entry() reverts all changes to
global.linux.bootargs.* anyway, it no longer carries any meaning, so
name the variable global.linux.bootargs.bootentries.

As the variables are concatenated in lexicographical order, the boot
entry options may end up at a different position in the command line.
