Given that we can use Kconfig logic directly to see if we have a program
available on the host or not, change from passing NO_SDL to instead
controlling CONFIG_SANDBOX_SDL in Kconfig directly. Introduce
CONFIG_HOST_HAS_SDL as the way to test for sdl2-config and default
CONFIG_SANDBOX_SDL on if we have that, or not.

LTO (Link-Time Optimisation) is an very useful feature which can
significantly reduce the size of U-Boot binaries. So far it has been
made available for selected ARM boards and sandbox.
However, incremental builds are much slower when LTO is used. For example,
an incremental build of sandbox takes 2.1 seconds on my machine, but 6.7
seconds with LTO enabled.
Add a NO_LTO parameter to the build, similar to NO_SDL, so it can be
disabled during development if needed, for faster builds.
Add some documentation about LTO while we are here.

The following Python packages are used by U-Boot, too:
* python3-asteval
* python3-subunit
* python3-testtools

At present U-Boot always builds dtc if CONFIG_OF_CONTROL is defined, even
when DTC is provided. The built dtc is not actually used, so this is a
waste of time.
Update the Makefile logic to build dtc only if one is not provided to the
build with the DTC variable. Add documentation to explain this.
This saves about 3.5 seconds of elapsed time on a clean build of
sandbox_spl for me.

These are out of date. Update them and point to the existing build
instructions to avoid duplication. Add a few that are missing.
