[U-Boot] [PATCH v2] hwconfig: Fix dummy initialization of {board, cpu}_hwconfig

Since board_hwconfig & cpu_hwconfig are defined as weak and dont have a default value they will get put into the BSS if they aren't defined elsewhere. This is problematic as we try to utilize hwconfig before we've relocated and thus BSS isn't setup.
Instead of giving dummy values in the board files that utilize this feature, we can just initialize the variables to an empty string and thus move them out of the BSS if they aren't defined elsewhere.
Also made board_hwconfig & cpu_hwconfig arrays to reduce size associated with string pointers vs arrays.

With this we should be able to get rid of the NULL tests of these variables in __hwconfig() (not that they were doing much good before...) and save a few bytes.
