riscv: boot: Fix creation of loader.bin

When flashing loader.bin for K210 using kflash:

    [ERROR] This is an ELF file and cannot be programmed to flash directly: arch/riscv/boot/loader.bin

Before, loader.bin relied on "OBJCOPYFLAGS := -O binary" in the main
RISC-V Makefile to create a boot image with the right format. With this
removed, the image is now created in the wrong (ELF) format.

Fix this by adding an explicit rule.

riscv: Use --emit-relocs in order to move .rela.dyn in init

To circumvent an issue where placing the relocations inside the init
sections produces empty relocations, use --emit-relocs. But to avoid
carrying those relocations in vmlinux, use an intermediate
vmlinux.relocs file which is a copy of vmlinux *before* stripping its
relocations.

riscv: boot: add zstd support

Support build the zstd compressed Image.zst. Similar as other
compressed formats, the Image.zst is not self-decompressing and
the bootloader still needs to handle decompression before
launching the kernel image.

riscv: move the (z)install rules to arch/riscv/Makefile

Currently, the (z)install targets in arch/riscv/Makefile descend into
arch/riscv/boot/Makefile to invoke the shell script, but there is no
good reason to do so.

arch/riscv/Makefile can run the shell script directly.

# 44c92257 13-Apr-2021 Vitaly Wool <vitaly.wool@konsulko.com>

RISC-V: enable XIP

Introduce XIP (eXecute In Place) support for RISC-V platforms.
It allows code to be executed directly from non-volatile storage
directly addressable by the CPU, such as QSPI NOR flash which can
be found on many RISC-V platforms. This makes way for significant
optimization of RAM footprint. The XIP kernel is not compressed
since it has to run directly from flash, so it will occupy more
space on the non-volatile storage. The physical flash address used
to link the kernel object files and for storing it has to be known
at compile time and is represented by a Kconfig option.

XIP on RISC-V will for the time being only work on MMU-enabled
kernels.

riscv: Fix build dependency for loader

The Makefile addition for the flat image loader missed an obj prefix.

For most parallel builds this worked out fine, but with -j1 the dependency
wasn't fulfilled and thus fails:

RISC-V: Add multiple compression image format.

Currently, there is only support for .gz compression type
for generating kernel Image.

Add support for other compression methods(lzma, lz4, lzo, bzip2)
that helps in generating a even smaller kernel image. Image.gz
will still be the default compressed image.

RISC-V: Build flat and compressed kernel images

This patch extends Linux RISC-V build system to build and install:
Image - Flat uncompressed kernel image
Image.gz - Flat and GZip compressed kernel image

Quiet a few bootloaders (such as Uboot, UEFI, etc) are capable of
booting flat and compressed kernel images. In case of Uboot, booting
Image or Image.gz is achieved using bootm command.

The flat and uncompressed kernel image (i.e. Image) is very useful
in pre-silicon developent and testing because we can create back-door
HEX files for RAM on FPGAs from Image.
