In the latest version of u-boot (2018.05) there was a swith to
Hush shell for ARC AXS10x boards(arc770/archs38):
commit 9249d74781e1 ("ARC: AXS10x: Enable hush shell").
In Hush shell using "$()" to declare envitonment variables is forbidden,
instead of this "${}" need to be used.

<title>arc770: Introduce images for SD-cards</title>

Historically on ARC we started from initramfs-based images because:
 a) It was much easier to debug especially when toolchain and other
    components were changing quite dynamically
 b) It was our usual approach for embedded Linux

But now with ARC port of Lede/OpenWRT getting more stable and mature
we're ready for more real-life scenarios with FS permanently stored
on SD-card. This essentially benefits from ability to setup devices
that survive reboots with all settings and extra packages kept in place.

Still we keep an ability to build images with initramfs.
This allows us to use storage-less simulators for testing still.

As support of ARC 770 in OpenWRT/Lede matures we don't need
debug-only output binaries any longer, so purging vmlinux for
AXS10x boards.

As for uImage for nSIM it makes completely no sense because there's no
way to run U-Boot on nSIM.

So we remove add_arcYYY_XXX scripts making code more compact and
cleaner.

<title>arc: use patched .dts from sources</title>

Instead of using off-the-tree .dts files for ARC boards we're
switching to use in-tree ones. And for that to work properly
we apply upstream patch that adds currently missing "model"
property.

Upstream patch and discussion could be found here:

It is used by a core build template, so the variable should be
initialized and added to DEVICE_VARS in the core.
Same for DEVICE_DTS_DIR
