Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] ARC: enable uboot support unconditionally

After reworking U-boot args handling code and adding paranoid
arguments check we can eliminate CONFIG_ARC_UBOOT_SUPPORT and
enable uboot support unconditionally.

For JTAG case we can assume that core registers will come up
reset value of 0 or in worst case we rely on user passing
'-on=clear_regs' to Metaware debugger.
