    This is the first part of a larger effort I would like to propose to
    unify and simplify the default set of environment variables.
    
    When many early environment variables were named there were fewer images
    being loaded, usually just a kernel. At this time names like 'loadaddr'
    would suffice. Now we have more images and many more commands that act on
    them, often re-using the same variable for several different uses. The
    contents of a variable are also not immediately known causing one to have
    to look up a chain of variables to understand what a command is actually
    doing. I suggest the following.
    
    To start, all variables containing names should be prefixed with name_
    and addresses with addr_. This is like how K2 already does things and
    allows for simple universal commands like:
    
    get_fdt_nfs=nfs ${addr_fdt} /boot/${name_fdt}
    
    Which is very clear on what is intended here and would work across all
    board that using the this naming convention.
    
    We can do this one variable at a time, start here with addr_fit.
