Ahmad Fatoum b89648b4d0 boot/barebox: install all barebox images if none were specified
When selecting barebox in menuconfig, BR2_TARGET_BAREBOX_IMAGE_FILE will
be empty by default, which causes Buildroot to install whatever the
barebox-flash-image symlink points at for barebox versions >= v2012.10.0.

This is an outdated fallback, because barebox-flash-image is only valid
when the barebox build produces a single binary. Virtually all new
defconfigs added in the last couple of years are multiconfig
(CONFIG_PBL_IMAGE=y) however, meaning that a single imx_v7_defconfig
or multi_v8_defconfig will produce many images that support different
boards or even platforms.

As there is no single valid target for barebox-flash-image to point at
in this case, this symlink will point at a non-existing
'multi-image-build' to alert the user to this fact.

As replacement for barebox-flash-image, barebox commit 550cf79c216a
("Make list of flash images and fix link all single image cases") first
released with v2015.12.0 creates a barebox-flash-images file with a list
of all images built by barebox.

Have buildroot use that file as a fallback before trying
barebox-flash-image to have a fallback that works for any recent barebox
defconfig as well.

A space-separated list of configuration fragment files,

string "Image file names"
help
Space-separated list of barebox images which will be copied to
the images directory.
If left empty, defaults to:
- all images as listed in barebox-flash-images (>= v2015.12.0)
- the image pointed at by barebox-flash-image (>= v2012.10.0)
- barebox.bin for even older barebox versions
In any case, this only influences the artifacts collected by
Buildroot. They will still need to be referenced from image
packages or flashed separately onto the hardware.

barebox.

help
Path to the directory containing the custom barebox
environment. Depending on your setup, it will probably be
based on either the content of the defaultenv or
defaultenv-2 directories in the barebox source code, plus
the additions needed. The output will be an image in the
barebox devfs format, stored in the images directory, with
the same name as the directory name given here.
config BR2_TARGET_BAREBOX_AUX_CUSTOM_EMBEDDED_ENV_PATH
string "Embedded environment path"
help
If this option is not empty, it is the path to a custom
embedded barebox environment. This image will be used when
the environment found in the environment sector is
invalid. This option sets the barebox Kconfig option
CONFIG_DEFAULT_ENVIRONMENT_PATH to the specified path. This
way it is possible to use Buildroot variables like
TOPDIR etc. to refer to the custom environment.
