External environment file
-------------------------
The `CONFIG_USE_DEFAULT_ENV_FILE` option provides a way to bypass the
environment generation in U-Boot. If enabled, then `CONFIG_DEFAULT_ENV_FILE`
provides the name of a file which is converted into the environment,
completely bypassing the standard environment variables in `env_default.h`.
The format is the same as accepted by the mkenvimage tool, with lines containing
key=value pairs. Blank lines and lines beginning with # are ignored.
Future work may unify this feature with the text-based environment, perhaps
moving the contents of `env_default.h` to a text file.
