[PATCH 3/5] build: add UIMAGE_MAGIC to device variables

Allow a device recipe to specify a custom UIMAGE_MAGIC value, as used by
OpenWrt's -M flag for mkimage. This allows to automatically customize
the magic bytes in all calls to Build/uImage for this device, similar to
the behaviour of UIMAGE_NAME. Since the -M argument is inserted before
the user arguments, it can be overriden.

The following example would use 0x87654321 for the KERNEL image, but
0x12345678 for the KERNEL_INITRAMFS image:

  define Device/MyDevice
    UIMAGE_MAGIC := 0x87654321
    KERNEL := ... | uImage lzma
    KERNEL_INITRAMFS := ... | uImage lzma -M 0x12345678
    ...
  endef

Fixes df8e6be59a "rtl838x: add new architecture" where UIMAGE_MAGIC was
not declared as a device variable.
