Both RPI2 and BEAGLEBONE are still popular and used arm boards.
Both u-boots can coexist as they are named differently and live in the
fat partition.
This leave us with only one image that can be used for both of those
boards and all the other ones supported by FreeBSD provided that you
install the correct u-boot on it.

All those board are impossible to buy nowadays and could boot using the
GENERICSD image after putting the correct u-boot on them.

The recent rpi-firmware update renamed "0" to "zero" in the RPi0 DTB
filename
It also included the components needed to boot the RPi4, so install those
now -- interested parties can install sysutils/u-boot-rpi4 and copy
config_rpi4.txt to config.txt on the FAT partition in order to boot the
board. Do note that we currently don't support ethernet/usb/pci.

boot.scr is a u-boot script that loads and execute ubldr.bin
If not present u-boot will automatically boot loader.efi which
is already installed.
This means that all armv6/armv7 images are now booted via EFI

This is not a problem for 12-CURRENT as EFI boot works but it doesn't
for 11.
While here some board arm_install_uboot also copy ubldr.bin et create
firstboot files but it's already done in arm_install_boot

This produce a generic sdcard image using armv7 GENERIC kernel that
just need some u-boot (or none if the board have u-boot or a SPI flash
for example).

This config never worked. At no time did u-boot match the kenrel match
the userland. As all the GUMSTIX gear we support is quite old and/or
not working, remove it. The duovero stuff might work, but nobody
has the hardware for it and GUMSTIX hasn't sold it in years.
This is needed with new u-boot that uses the rpi-firmware dtbs.

This reduce the per-board arm_install_uboot to just install u-boot.
While here remove the installation of rpi.dtb and rpi2.dtb as we load
them from the UFS partition via ubldr.

r332674 raised the size of the FAT partition from 2MB to 41MB for some
boards. But we format them in FAT12 and this size appears to be to big
for FAT12 and some SoC bootrom cannot cope with that.

While 480M is sufficient for 10-STABLE, 11-CURRENT images at
this size fail due to insufficient space.
This commit is solely for the sake of getting updated snapshot
builds out, after which I'll analyze the resulting images to
figure out what a more sane value is, even if the image size
for 11-CURRENT needs to differ from 10-STABLE.

Since the images are effectively mostly zeros at 1G,
reduce the size to allow installation on smaller SD
cards, such as 512Mb.
While here, stop writing the /boot.txt file on the
WANDBOARD, which isn't used anyway.
