It becomes a common case that the Kernel is loaded from the filesystem
which later becomes the rootfs. This adds a possibility to let bootm
automatically append the root= option to the kernel command line. This
is done when global.bootm.appendroot is true.

'bootm' is the lowlevel boot command, in contrast to 'boot', which is
more highlevel.

Using NFS in conjunction with boot spec and the feature to let Barebox
auto generate a kernel command line must keep the options the NFS filesystem
was mounted in Barebox. This patch extends the kernel command line parameter
on demand if something different than the defaults are used.
The command:
barebox:/ boot nfs://myhost//root
expands to the kernel command line:
nfsroot=myhost:/root,v3,tcp
while the command:
barebox:/ boot nfs://myhost:2049//root
expands now to the kernel command line:
nfsroot=myhost:/root,v3,tcp,mountport=2049,port=2049

This patch makes it possible to automatically add a suitable root= option
for booting Linux from the same filesystem on which the bootspec entry
has been found. This adds an additional 'linux-appendroot' option to
bootspec which if set to 'true' will cause barebox to automatically
add a root= option. This currently works for NFS, UBIFS and regular
block devices like ATA, SD/MMC using the root=PARTUUID= mechanism.

All variables starting with global.linux.bootargs. are concatemated
to bootargs, not global.bootargs. .
