powerpc/boot: Parse chosen/cmdline-timeout parameter
On some platforms a 5 second timeout during boot might be quite long, so make it configurable. Run the loop at least once to let the user stop the boot by holding a key pressed. If the timeout is set to 0, don't wait for input, which can be used as a workaround if the boot hangs on random data coming in on the serial port.
