    This patch updates the Cubieboard2 board defconfig to use newer u-boot
    and linux versions, along with a few other improvements.
    The other improvements were mostly backported from the recent Orange Pi
    defconfig inclusion and are related to image generation.
    linux-sunxi.org was used as a reference for both linux and u-boot
    defconfig names.
    
    In detail:
    - Update linux to vanilla upstream -- currently 4.3.3 is the most
    up-to-date. Although it lacks some features present only in the
    linux-sunxi 3.4 branch, upstream support appears to be relatively mature
    and is already being deployed by default by distributions such as Arch
    Linux ARM.
    - Update u-boot to vanilla upstream 2015.10. According to
    linux-sunxi.org, upstream fully supports major functions (except NAND)
    since 2015.07.
    - Change image format to zImage and drop custom image generation script
    in favour of genimage, as pointed out by reviewers in the Orange Pi
    defconfig submission.
    
    This was tested in a Cubieboard2 board with boot from mmc and it boots
    fine to login prompt.
    
    This has not been tested in a Cubieboard (A10) as I don't own any; the
    version bumps probably apply to it although there are some differences
    (lack of VFPv4 support, Cortex-A8 instead of Cortex-A7), so I have kept
    the current Cubieboard defconfig and its scripts. This one has been only
    build-tested.
