This function does not actually change the pointer contents, so use const
so that functions which have a const pointer do not need to cast.

It is useful to be able to save and restore the RAM contents of sandbox
U-Boot either for setting up tests, for later analysys, or for chaining
together multiple tests which need to keep the same memory contents.
Add a function to provide a memory file for U-Boot. This is read on
start-up and written when shutting down. If the file does not exist
on start-up, it will be created when shutting down.

When sandbox does a 'bootm' to run a kernel we cannot actually execute it.
So just exit sandbox, which is essentially what U-Boot does on other archs.
Also, allow sandbox to use bootm on any kernel, so that it can be used
to test booting of kernels from any architecture.

Support tracing on sandbox by adding suitable CONFIG options. To enable it,
compile U-Boot with FTRACE=1.
The timer functions are marked to skip tracing, since these are called from
the tracing code itself, and we want to avoid an infinite loop.

In many cases, pointers to memory are passed around, and these pointers
refer to U-Boot memory, not host memory. This in itself is not a
problem.
However, in a few places, we cast that pointer back to a ulong (being
a U-Boot memory address). It is possible to convert many of these cases
to avoid this. However there are data structures (e.g. struct
bootm_headers) which use pointers. We could with a lot of effort adjust
the structs and all code that uses them to use ulong instead of pointers.
This seems like an unacceptable cost, since our objective with sandbox
is to minimise the impact on U-Boot code while maximising the features
available to sandbox.
Therefore, create a map_to_sysmem() function which converts from a
pointer to a U-Boot address. This can be used sparingly when needed.

We want to keep all OS-dependent code in once place, with a simple interface
to U-Boot. For now, this is that place.

This is an initial implementation with all functions defined but not working.
The lds file is very simple since we can mostly rely on the linker defaults.
