All ARCHs have the same definition of MKIMAGE. Move it to Makefile.lib
to avoid duplication.

All ARCHs have similar definitions of cmd_uimage. Place a sufficiently
parameterized version in Makefile.lib to avoid duplication.

v2:
* Fix blackfin's UIMAGE_LOADADDR in the ROMKERNEL case.
* Fix missing ) on a variable reference in avr32 and sparc.
* Only set those UIMAGE_* variables that the arch-specific Makefile hasn't
  already set.
* The patch series is now just this single patch which removes duplication;
  I've dropped the Kconfig feature to allow use of -T kernel_noload for
  now, since it looks like U-Boot is gaining direct zImage support.

Michal,

Does this change look reasonable? It has acks from people working on 4
of the 7 affected architectures; would you prefer acks from all?

Thanks.
