[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 7/7] cmd_setexpr: allow memory addresses in expressions

This patch add functionality to use memory addresses in expressions. This increases the power of expressions substantially
It adheres to the standard convemtions: memory addresses can be given in the format *address (e.g. *1000)
Rationale for this change is that it allows masking off bits from a byte that is obtained by reading data from e.g. i2c.
