Even though we're not going to build here real U-Boot binary
it is still required to "configure" U-Boot to get get to the
tools building.

We used to use "sandbox_defconfig" for that purpose but
since U-Boot v2018.11 it started to cause problems [1] due to [2].

So to have less dependencies let's create super minimalistic
configuration which is good enough to allow us to run "make tools".
