When flashing U-Boot on a Boston board using Xilinx Vivado tools, the
final 0x00 byte which ends the .relocs section seems to be skipped &
left in flash as 0xff unless the data contained in the .mcs is padded
out to a 16 byte boundary. Without our final zero byte relocation will
fail with an error about a spurious reloc:
Avoid this problem by padding out the data in the .mcs file to a 16 byte
boundary using srec_cat's -range-pad functionality.

U-Boot is generally flashed to a MIPS Boston development board by means
of a .mcs file which Xilinx Vivado software can write to the flash
present on the board. As such we'd generally want to produce an mcs file
when building U-Boot to target the Boston board. Introduce a make target
for u-boot.mcs which generates it using the srec_cat tool available from
the SRecord project, and build it by default when srec_cat is present.
