fdt: Allow device tree to specify secure booting
When secure booting is chosen: * The u-boot shell is never invoked during boot--we just do a simple table lookup to find the command. This means we could even remove the shell parsing from u-boot and still be able to boot. * The boot command can't be interruped. * Failure doesn't cause us to fall back to the shell.
