qemu-x86: Use config_distro_bootcmd

Converts qemu x86 machines to boot using distro_config. The intent is to
allow u-boot in qemu to be maximally compatible with many boot methods
without having to change the config. Previously, u-boot would only boot
in a very limited set of circumstances where there was a /boot/vmlinuz
on scsi 0:3 with no ramdisk.

Multicore is also supported by QEMU via '-smp n' where n is the number of cores
to instantiate. Note, the maximum supported CPU number in QEMU is 255.
U-Boot uses 'distro_bootcmd' by default when booting on x86 QEMU. This tries to
load a boot script, kernel, and ramdisk from several different interfaces. For
the default boot order, see 'qemu-x86.h'. For more information, see
'README.distro'. Most Linux distros can be booted by writing a uboot script.
For example, Debian (stretch) can be booted by creating a script file named
'boot.txt' with the contents::
setenv bootargs root=/dev/sda1 ro
load ${devtype} ${devnum}:${distro_bootpart} ${kernel_addr_r} /vmlinuz
load ${devtype} ${devnum}:${distro_bootpart} ${ramdisk_addr_r} /initrd.img
zboot ${kernel_addr_r} - ${ramdisk_addr_r} ${filesize}
Then compile and install it with::
$ apt install u-boot-tools && \
mkimage -T script -C none -n "Boot script" -d boot.txt /boot/boot.scr
The fw_cfg interface in QEMU also provides information about kernel data,
initrd, command-line arguments and more. U-Boot supports directly accessing
these informtion from fw_cfg interface, which saves the time of loading them
