If the "BOOT_CMD" variable is set to "none" inside the config
file, the boot command (i.e. "booti") will not by added to the
generated script, to allow the user to customize the u-boot env
or the device-tree after executing the script commands and before
actually booting.
Added commands to store the addresses where the Xen image and
device-tree file are loaded, in 'host_kernel_addr' and 'host_fdt_addr'
variables, if BOOTCMD = "none".
The `booti` command can then be executed as part of the 'bootcmd' variable
in u-boot, which should contain:
1. fetching the generated u-boot script
2. executing the script
3. running `booti ${host_kernel_addr} - ${host_fdt_addr}` command
