MIPS: Make the debugging of compressed kernel configurable

Browse Source 
This patch adds a new DEBUG_ZBOOT option to allow the users to enable it
to debug the compressed kernel support for a new board and this optoin
should be disabled to reduce the kernel image size and speed up the
kernel booting procedure when the compressed kernel support is stable.

help
If you want to add compressed kernel support to a new board, and the
board supports uart16550 compatible serial port, please select
SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT_UART16550 for your board and enable this option to
debug it.
If your board doesn't support uart16550 compatible serial port, you
can try to select SYS_SUPPORTS_ZBOOT and use the other methods to
debug it. for example, add a new serial port support just as
arch/mips/boot/compressed/uart-16550.c does.
After the compressed kernel support works, please disable this option
to reduce the kernel image size and speed up the booting procedure a
little.
