kernel-fitimage.bbclass: introduce FIT_UBOOT_ENV

Introduce a new variable FIT_UBOOT_ENV, which allows to add a u-boot
script as a text file to the fitImage. Such a script can be sourced
from the u-boot shell, as documented here:
https://docs.u-boot.org/en/latest/usage/cmd/source.html#fit-image

The kernel-fitimage.bbclass also evaluates the existing UBOOT_ENV
variable and adds the corresponding script to the fitImage. However, the
UBOOT_ENV variable is also used to install the script as an old u-boot
image, usually named boot.scr into the /boot directory of the target
device. These are different use cases which should be handled
independently.

Appending the script to the u-boot recipe and then hand it over to the
kernel recipe via the staged /boot directory leads to complicated task
dependencies. Decoupling the two use cases will also allow to simplify
the implementation by dropping the evaluation of the UBOOT_ENV variable
in the kernel-fitimage.bbclass. But this commit is supposed to be
backward compatible.
