The character device we currently have is cumbersome to use.
The Linux way to access it at /sys/firmware/qemu_fw_cfg
is much nicer to use, so this series adds support for a similar
FS to barebox.

A very nice result of having file system access to the QEMU variables
in barebox is that we get a trivial way to pass data to barebox.
To make it even more convenient to use, this series enables overriding
individual files in the environment via the new mechanism, e.g.:

  pytest --env nv/boot.default=fit --env boot/fit=@boot.sh
