The U-Boot documentation explains that variables ending with "_r" hold
addresses in DRAM, while those without that ending point to flash/ROM.
The default variables for the Juno board pointing to the kernel and DTB
load addresses were not complying with this scheme: they lack the
extension, but point to DRAM. This is particularly confusing since the
Juno board features parallel NOR flash, so there *is* a memory mapped
NOR address holding a DTB, for instance.

Fix the variables to use the proper names, changing initrd_addr to
ramdisk_addr_r on the way, which seems to be more prevelant and
documented. On the way adjust the FDT load address to be situated
*before* the kernel, since users happened to overwrite the DTB by the
kernel clearing its .BSS section during initialisation.
Also remove the fdt_high and initrd_high variables (which were set
to -1), to allow U-Boot moving those images around.

This should avoid many problems in the future, but breaks loading
Linux kernels < v4.2, since they expect the DTB to be loaded in the same
512MB region as the kernel. If you need to load such an old kernel,
please set fdt_high to either 0xffffffffffffffff or 0xa0000000 (if you
load the kernel to the beginning of DRAM).

That fixes loading debug kernels, which happened to overwrite the DTB on
certain setups.
