47ab5ad145 cmd_setexpr: allow memory addresses in expressions
This patch add functionality to use memory addresses in expressions.
This increases the power of expressions substantially

It adheres to the standard convemtions: memory addresses can be given
in the format *address (e.g. *1000)

Rationale for this change is that it allows masking off bits from a
byte that is obtained by reading data from e.g. i2c.

a89c33db96 General help message cleanup
Many of the help messages were not really helpful; for example, many
commands that take no arguments would not print a correct synopsis
line, but "No additional help available." which is not exactly wrong,
but not helpful either.

Commit ``Make "usage" messages more helpful.'' changed this
partially. But it also became clear that lots of "Usage" and "Help"
messages (fields "usage" and "help" in struct cmd_tbl_s respective)
were actually redundant.

This patch cleans this up - for example:

Before:
	=> help dtt
	dtt - Digital Thermometer and Thermostat

	Usage:
	dtt         - Read temperature from digital thermometer and thermostat.

After:
	=> help dtt
	dtt - Read temperature from Digital Thermometer and Thermostat

	Usage:
	dtt

Remove command name from all command "usage" fields and update
common/command.c to display "name - usage" instead of
just "usage". Also remove newlines from command usage fields.

d058698fd2 Add setexpr command
Add a simple expr style command that will set an env variable as the result
of the command.  This allows us to do simple math in shell.  The following
operations are supported: &, |, ^, +, -, *, /.
