Check if firmware environment variable 'rootfs_data_max' exists and is
set to a numerical value greater than 0. If so, limit rootfs_data
volume to that size instead of using the maximum available size.
This is useful on devices with lots of flash where users may want to
have eg. a volume for persistent logs and statistics or for external
applications/containers. Persistence on rootfs overlay is limited by
the size of memory available during the sysugprade process as that
data needs to be copied to RAM while the volume is being recreated
during sysupgrade. Hence it is unsuitable for keeping larger amounts
of data accross upgrade which makes additional volume(s) for
application data desirable.

Allow for single (external-data) FIT image to hold kernel, dtb and
squashfs. In that way, the bootloader verifies the system integrity
including the rootfs, because what's the point of checking that the
hash of the kernel is correct if it won't boot in case of squashfs
being corrupted? Better allow bootloader to check everything needed
to make it at least up to failsafe mode. As a positive side effect
this change also makes the sysupgrade process on nand potentially
much easier as it is now.
In short: mkimage has a parameter '-E' which allows generating FIT
images with 'external' data rather than embedding the data into the
device-tree blob itself. In this way, the FIT structure itself remains
small and can be parsed easily (rather than having to page around
megabytes of image content). This patch makes use of that and adds
support for adding sub-images of type 'filesystem' which are used to
store the squashfs. Now U-Boot can verify the whole OS and the new
partition parsers added in the Linux kernel can detect the filesystem
sub-images, create partitions for them, and select the active rootfs
volume based on the configuration in FIT (passing configuration via
device tree could be implemented easily at a later stage).
This new FIT partition parser works for NOR flash (on top of mtdblock),
NAND flash (on top of ubiblock) as well as classic block devices
(ie. eMMC, SDcard, SATA, NVME, ...).
It could even be used to mount such FIT images via `losetup -P` on a
user PC if this patch gets included in Linux upstream one day ;)

This drops the shebang from another bunch of files in various /lib
folders, as these are sourced and the shebang is useless.
Fix execute bit in one case, too.
This should cover almost all trivial cases now, i.e. where /lib is
actually used for library files.
