[PATCH v3 0/1] Makefile: rework u-boot-initial-env target

From: Max Krummenacher max.krummenacher@toradex.com
With CONFIG_LTO enabled the current way of extracting the configured environment no longer works, i.e. the object file content changes due to LTO.
Build a host tool which prints the configured environment instead of using objcopy and friends to achive the same.
The code and Makefile changes were mostly stolen from tools/env/ i.e. the target userspace tools to access the environment.
Changes in v3: - moved the tool from scripts/ to tools/. Suggested by Tom Rini - changed the dependencies to '$(env_h)' and 'tools'. Suggested by Tom Rini and Pali Rohár. - removed the sed rule which replaces \x00 with \x0A as this is already done by the tool. Suggested by Pali Rohár.
Changes in v2: - reworked to build a host tool which prints the configured environment as proposed by Pali Rohár https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot/20221018174827.1393211-1-max.oss.09@gmail.com... - renamed patch, v1 used "Makefile: fix u-boot-initial-env target if lto is enabled"

With LTO enabled the U-Boot initial environment is no longer stored in an easy accessible section in env/common.o. I.e. the section name changes from build to build, its content maybe compressed and it is annotated with additional data.
Drop trying to read the initial env with elf tools from the compiler specific object file in favour of adding and using a host tool with the only functionality of printing the initial env to stdout.
