spl: fit: Support both external and embedded data
SPL supports U-Boot image in FIT format which has data outside of FIT structure. This adds support for embedded data for normal FIT images. Signed-off-by: York Sun <york.sun@nxp.com> Reviewed-by: Tom Rini <trini@konsulko.com> Reviewed-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

defines an absolute position or address as the offset. This is helpful when
booting U-Boot proper before performing relocation.
+Normal kernel FIT image has data embedded within FIT structure. U-Boot image
+for SPL boot has external data. Existence of 'data-offset' can be used to
+identify which format is used.
