On modern NAND it's more than recommended to have a backup copy of the
u-boot binary to recover from corruption: bitflips are quite common on
MLC NANDs, and the read-disturbance will corrupt your u-boot partitition
more quickly than what you would see on an SLC NAND.
Add an extra Kconfig option to specify the offset of the redundant u-boot
image.
