The Amlogic Meson SoCs ROM supports a boot over USB with a custom protocol.
When no other boot medium are available (or by forcing the USB mode), the
ROM sets the primary USB port as device mode and waits for a Host to
enumerate.
When enumerated, a custom protocol described at [1] permits writing to
memory and execute some specific FIP init code to run the loaded
Arm Trusted Firmware BL2 and BL3 stages before running the BL33 stage.
In this mode, we can load different binaries that can be used by U-boot
like a script image file.
This adds support for a custom USB boot stage only available when the
boot mode is USB and the script file at a pre-defined address is valid.
This support was heavily copied from the Sunxi Allwinner FEL U-Boot support.
The tool pyamlboot described at [2], permits using this boot mode on boards
exposing the first USB port, either as OTG or Host port.

Now we have moved all the Amlogic board support to common generic board code,
we can move the identical board_init() and ft_board_setup() functions to
weak functions into the board-common mach-meson file.

We are about to add support for the Amlogic AXG SoC. While very close to
the Gx SoC family, we will need to handle a few thing which are different
in this SoC. Rework the meson arch directory to prepare for this.
