cmd: bootvx: Always get VxWorks bootline from env
So far VxWorks bootline can be contructed from various environment variables, but when these variables do not exist we get these from corresponding config macros. This is not helpful as it requires rebuilding U-Boot, and to make sure these config macros take effect we should not have these environment variables. This is a little bit complex and confusing. Now we change the logic to always contruct the bootline from environments (the only single source), by adding two new variables "bootdev" and "othbootargs", and adding some comments about network related settings mentioning they are optional. The doc about the bootline handling is also updated. Signed-off-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Tom Rini <trini@konsulko.com> Tested-by: Hannes Schmelzer <oe5hpm@oevsv.at>
