imx: imx-common: introduce boot auxiliary core
To boot a auxiliary core in asymmetric multicore system, introduce the new command "bootaux" to do it. Example of boot auxliary core from 0x70000000 where stores the boot head information that should be parsed by auxiliary core, "bootaux 0x70000000". Introduce Kconfig option IMX_BOOTAUX.
