Prior to Kbuild, U-Boot could build under tools/ directory withour configuring for a specific board.
That feature was lost when switching to Kbuild.
This patch revives it again by adding a make target "tools-only".
Usage: $ make tools-only
Neither board configuration nor cross compiler are required to build host tools.

Problem is that we make enabling the signature code (which adds more deps on the host) based on the config, and this was intentional. So I'm not sure if we want to do this exactly, at least right now.
