Improve support for running U-Boot on [Qualcomm] smartphones, with:
* A boot menu which can be entered by holding power during boot
* Hang on panic (so errors can be read on the display)
* Serial gadget which can be enabled by holding volume down or via
boot menu
In its current form, U-Boot's boot menu is perfectly adequate, however
once an option is picked U-Boot will never return to the menu, always to
the CLI.
On a phone (with no keyboard), dropping to the CLI effectively makes the
device unusable until manually rebooted, since there is no way to run
any commands...
To rectify this, let's revive CONFIG_BOOT_RETRY for the hush parser and
add an option CONFIG_RETRY_BOOTCMD to run the contents of "bootcmd".
This provides for a flexible menu system which we can enter and exit.
See qcom-phone.env in patch 1 for more details.
Finally, provide some rough-ish documentation to describe how Qualcomm
phone support works and outline some debugging steps for when UART and
the framebuffer are unavailable.

Thank you.
Jens shared the image so I could test your series on Google Pixel 4a and
it works.

Hopefully we can test SM7150 GCC/PINCTRL for sd-card and send these
drivers soon.
