common/image.c: align usage of fdt_high with initrd_high

The commit message of a28afca (Add uboot "fdt_high" enviroment variable)
states that fdt_high behaves similarly to the existing initrd_high.
But fdt_high actually has an outstanding difference from initrd_high.
The former specifies the start address, while the later specifies the
end address.

As fdt_high and initrd_high will likely be used together, it'd be nice
to have them behave same.  The patch changes the behavior of fdt_high
to have it aligned with initrd_high.

The document of fdt_high in README is updated with an example to
demonstrate the usage of this environment variable.

fdt_high - if set this restricts the maximum address that the
flattened device tree will be copied into upon boot.
For example, if you have a system with 1 GB memory
at physical address 0x10000000, while Linux kernel
only recognizes the first 704 MB as low memory, you
may need to set fdt_high as 0x3C000000 to have the
device tree blob be copied to the maximum address
of the 704 MB low memory, so that Linux kernel can
access it during the boot procedure.
If this is set to the special value 0xFFFFFFFF then
the fdt will not be copied at all on boot. For this
to work it must reside in writable memory, have
