[needs-packaging] Package U-Boot for the RISC-V Nezha board

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

U-Boot for the Nezha board has not yet been upstreamed yet. The available patches are incompatible with building U-Boot for other Allwinner/Sunxi boards. As a workaround provide a new package with separate codebase which we can replace by a package built from upstream source once available.

The U-Boot code for the Nezha board does not contain the boot0 bootloader which loads OpenSBI and main U-Boot. A separate bug has been filed to package boot0 (LP #1948042).

Notes:
 The code was originally published by Allwinner in the Tina SDK which is only accessible after registration.
