     - this partially reverts b3a8287b which prevented BOOTENV as set by
       config_distro_boot.h being appended to CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
     - distro_bootcmd can do everything the nested loop can do:
         * boot from usb
         * arbitrary boot order
         * set arbitrary boot partition
         * search arbitrary list of prefixes
         * load a boot.scr
     - in addition to that, distro_bootcmd:
         * is the standard boot mechanism for distros (see doc/README.distro)
         * thus we can replace hard-to-read custom code
         * works with extlinux.conf (needed for debian-installer)
