This implements global shell variable support. This is done by registering
a new device named 'global', so global variables are just plain device
parameters.
Global variables are useful for storing the global state in the environment.
Currently we do this by sourcing scripts instead of executing them which is
quite limiting.

We currently use the environment variable 'bootargs' to get the
Linux bootargs. This patch allows for a more flexible bootargs
generation using global variables. With it the Linux bootargs
are concatenated from multiple variables. This allows to replace
parts of the bootargs string without having to reconstruct it
completely.
With this bootargs can be constructed like:
global linux.bootargs.base="console=ttyS0,115200"
global linux.bootargs.ip="ip=dhcp"
global linux.mtdparts="physmap-flash.0:512K(nor0.barebox),-(root)"
This will then automatically be combined into a kernel bootargs
string during boot.
If the 'linux.bootargs.' variables are all empty the old standard
'bootargs' way will be used.
