Add support for detecting a vmlinuz.bin appended dtb and overriding the boot arguments to match the UHI interface.
To ensure _edata / __apendend_dtb points to the actual end of the binary, align the data section to 16 bytes instead of the address cursor. Due to ld.script not going through the preprocessor, we can't check for MIPS_ZBOOT_APPENDED_DTB being enabled, so always reserve space for it. It should have no consequences for booting without it enabled except 1 MiB more ram usage during the uncompressing stage.
