qemu-arm: Add persistent environment support
Currently on qemu-arm platforms environment is kept in RAM. Instead use pflash device 1 to provide persistent environment support across device reset. Also (optionally) provide support for persistent environment across qemu machine OFF/ON using following instructions: - Create envstore.img using qemu-img: qemu-img create -f raw envstore.img 64M - Add a pflash drive parameter to the command line: -drive if=pflash,format=raw,index=1,file=envstore.img Signed-off-by: Sumit Garg <sumit.garg@linaro.org>

Note that for some odd reason qemu-system-aarch64 needs to be explicitly
told to use a 64-bit CPU or it will boot in 32-bit mode.
+Additional persistent U-boot environment support can be added as follows:
+- Create envstore.img using qemu-img:
+ qemu-img create -f raw envstore.img 64M

Additional peripherals that have been tested to work in both U-Boot and Linux
can be enabled with the following command line parameters:
