[OE-core] [PATCH] u-boot: Add mkenvimage tool

[Martin Jansa]

Hi,

yes fw-utils is similar, but has different dependencies and builds slightly
differently.

mkenvimage on the other hand is already built by current u-boot-mkimage
recipe, just not installed by default (adding separate recipe would build
it twice).
