cpu/allwinner/a10: Provide utility to make a bootable image
Up until now, we relied on mksunxiboot to prepend the header which
makes coreboot.rom bootable on Allwinner SoCs. If that tool was not
present, the build silently failed.
Integrate this tool into our util/ package, so that we do not have to
rely on mksunxiboot being in PATH.
Our version of mksunxiboot also eliminates some limitations of the
original tool, so we no longer have to use 'dd' to limit the file
size.
