device-kobo-clara: cleanup boot process to use extlinux

To avoid custom commands we need to go to near mainline u-boot. That cannot again cannot boot without custom commands boot downstream kernels, so split out downstream business.

Reason for being draft: u-boot does not get updated on the raw sectors, only fresh installs work

depends on !3791

what to do with the wiki ci issue? A complete duplicate of the device page?!

You can try implementing a post-upgrade script in u-boot package

probably the binutils 2.41 fix should also be something generic, (part of downstreamkernel_prepare?!), but for an unmaintained kernel, I will not have such much love

This is pretty cool! Great to see the port moving towards mainline and improving in support!
