u-boot-fslc: add support to build boot container for mx8m

U-Boot provides a possibility to build a boot container for i.MX8M
derivaties, this is done via invoking a make target "flash.bin".

Add this support to the recipe via inheriting the imx-boot-container
class which extends U-Boot build system to construct flash.bin boot
container.
