Allow more compression algorithms as well as uncompressed uImage.bin
to be generated. An uncompressed image might be useful to rule out
problems in the decompression code in the bootloader or even speed
up the boot process at the expense of a bigger uImage file.

Add a uImage build target for MIPS, which builds uImage.gz (a U-Boot
image of vmlinux.bin.gz), and then symlinks it to uImage. This allows
for the use of other compression algorithms in future, and is how a few
other architectures do it.
It's enabled conditionally on load-y >= 0xffffffff80000000 which
hopefully allows 64bit kernels to also work as long as the load and
entry address can be represented by the 32bit addresses in the U-Boot
image format.

Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this
once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling
in forever.

- remove stuff that is not needed
VMLINUX assignment, all: rule
- use hostprogs-y for the host program
- use kbuild rules for the three targets - to beautify output
- drop clean-files - it is no longer needed
- simplify arch/mips/Makefile when calling targets in boot/Makefile

It moves to the same directory as the boot files in other formats.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
