kernel: prefer the kernel produced uImage

The custom uImage produced by the kernel classes by default
does not universally boot and working with existing uboot
configurations and setups.

This changes the preference to the uImage constructed by
the kbuild processes and falls back to the other techniques
if uImage is requested by the kernel does not produce one.
