realtek: image: add rt-loader-no-uimage recipe
Some checks are pending
Build Kernel / Build all affected Kernels (push) Waiting to run

Add a new recipe 'rt-loader-no-uimage' that passes the kernel load
address to rt-loader, causing it to use that instead of it's initial run
address.

The usual behavior is fine for uImages where the load address is
predefined in the header, U-boot loads the image to that address and
then runs it, rt-loader just takes over that address. For non-uImage
instead, the address is tightly coupled to where the image has been
transferred during serial or TFTP upload. This may not be possible on
several devices. Passing a separate kernel load address to rt-loader
decouples that and avoids taking the pain to change the load address of
the kernel itself.
