[SLOF] [PATCH 1/2] envvar: Set properties in /options during "(set-defaults)"

The properties in /options are currently only populated from
the NVRAM common partition or if the user explicitely sets and
environment variable with "setenv". This causes two problems:

1) The properties in /options are not reset when the user runs
the "set-defaults" Forth word, e.g. like this:

    setenv auto-boot? false
    dev /options
    printenv auto-boot?
    s" auto-boot?" get-node get-property drop type
    set-defaults
    printenv auto-boot?
    s" auto-boot?" get-node get-property drop type

After the "set-defaults", the property in /options has the
wrong value and is not in sync with the environment variable
anymore.

2) If the common NVRAM partition is not containing all the
required variables, SLOF currently also does not create
default values in /options for the missing entries. This
causes problems for example when we want to initialize the
NVRAM from QEMU instead (to support the "-prom-env" parameter
of QEMU). Boot loaders like grub2 depend on the availability
of certain properties in the /options node and thus refuse
to work if the NVRAM did not contain all the variables.

To fix both issues, let's always populate the /options
properties during "(set-default)" already.
