Support 'make image.fit FIT_MODULES=1' to put all the modules into a
ramdisk image within the FIT.

Changes in v4:
- Rename the Makefile variable from 'EXTRA' to 'MAKE_FIT_FLAGS'
- Use an empty FIT_MODULES to disable the feature, instead of '0'
- Make use of the 'modules' dependency to ensure modules are built
- Pass the list of modules to the script
