Since quite some time, the kernel and bootloader communities consider
zImage as the default format for kernel images on ARM, replacing
uImage. The load address information in uImage is no longer needed,
since the kernel is position-independent in terms of physical address,
except on a few old platforms. For most people, using zImage is simply
better/simpler, so let's switch to zImage as the default image format
on ARM.
All defconfigs are updated: 46 defconfigs no longer need to select
explicitly zImage because it's the default, and 16 defconfigs now need
to explicitly select uImage because that's no longer the default.

For most defconfigs, it was trivial to deduce the kernel version, by
just reading the version string, which could be:
- a standard upstream version string vX.Y.Z
- a non-standard version string, but still containg the standard X.Y.Z
Those for which it was not so trivial were those hosted on git tree.
Since most were already using a custom linux-headers version, it could
be easily deduced from that. It was confirmed by browsing said git trees
and check the version there.
There are a few cases were there was a mismatch:
- microzed: uses a 3.18 kernel, but 3.8 headers; fixed.
- xilinx_zc706: uses a 3.14 kernel, but 3.8 headers; fixed.
- zedboard: uses a 3.18 kernel, but 3.8 headers; fixed.

Bump U-boot version to 2015.07 from the mainline repository. Since there
is SPL support for the wandboard in the U-boot 2015.07, it is now
possible to boot the same U-boot image for all wandboard variants
(solo/dual/quad).
Bump kernel version to 3.14.28_1.0.0 from the wandboard git repository.
Tested on Wandboard Solo, Wandboard Dual and Wandboard Quad.

This patch adds a genimage config file and a post-image script for the
Wandboard, to generate a medium image "sdcard.img", ready to be booted.
The image contains the layout explained in the board readme.txt file:
U-Boot, its environment, and an Ext2 rootfs partition.
The defconfig has been slightly changed to enable this feature. Also
lighten the readme file since the config file is documented and simpler.
Tested on a Wandboard Solo.

Since 3.0.x was EOL and deprecated this would cause it to use newer
headers than the kernel and cause issues.
So switch to custom kernel headers version string to fix this.
