configs/hifive_unleashed: use mainline Linux + U-Boot

Update to use the official linux kernel v5.10 instead of an
out-of-tree kernel, and use the official U-Boot v2021.01 as the
bootloader. Provide two configuration files of genimage for different
boot flows:

- Boot from SD card (default)
- Boot from SPI flash

A boot script is generated to automatically boot the distro.

+Creating a bootable SPI flash with genimage
+===========================================
+
+Adjust Buildroot configuration by:
+
+  $ make menuconfig
+
+Change "System configuration" -> "Extra arguments passed to custom scripts"
+value to "-c board/sifive/hifive-unleashed/genimage_spi-nor.cfg", save the
+configuration and build. This creates a output/images/spi-nor.img that can
+be programmed to the on-board SPI flash.
+
+Boot the board from the SD card prepared above, stop the U-Boot auto boot,
+and type the following commands to program the whole SPI flash:
+
+  => tftp 82000000 output/images/spi-nor.img
+  => sf probe
+  => sf update 82000000 0 2000000
+
+Booting the SPI flash on the board
+==================================
+
+Make sure that the all DIP switches are set to the off position for
+default boot mode (MSEL mode = 0110) to boot from SPI flash.
