[PATCH] blspec: add checking of optional key machine-id

[Andreas Schmidt <mail@schmidt-andreas.de>]

For filtering of Bootloader Spec entries, Bootloader Spec
specify an optional key machine-id. By set the
global.boot.machine-id variable the checking of machine-id
key in Bootloader Spec entries will be activate. If the
variable and key match, appropriate boot entry will be
booting. If it not match boot entry will be ignore and
barebox check the next boot entry.

Hi,
we use the same barebox for all our devices. The devices have
same CPU-module but different interface boards. So the bootloader
has to choose the right boot entry. To determine the right boot entry we
decide to use Bootloader Spec. But we have a issue: Currently, only oftree 
compatibility is checking by barebox for Bootloader Spec entries. But all 
our ofstrees are compatible with our barebox, because we use only one. So
we need a additional possibility to check witch Bootloader Spec entry
is the right one for appropriate device. I guess, for such an use case
Bootloader Spec specify "machine-id" key. This patch implement the support
for machine-id key.
The machine-id key is optional. I decide to activate the checking of this
key only if "global.boot.machine_id" variable is set to non-empty value.
If "global.boot.machine_id" not set machine-id key will be ignored, 
independent if it exists in Bootloader Spec entry or not.

Regards,
Andreas
