This series provides a number of tweaks which make it easier to test
booting with the EFI app, particularly on ARM:

- 'fake go' in bootstd
- more debugging in various places
- tidy up the generally incorrect ATAGs error
- drop a panic() in the bowels of boot
- ensure booti does not overwrite memory when relocating

It also includes a way to quit or disable the pager, which is very
helpful when running the app on a machine with no serial console.

Finally, a bug in the release script is causing CI to fail, so a few
patches deal with that.
