hw/arm: Allwinner A10 enable SPL load from MMC

This patch enables copying of SPL from MMC if `-kernel` parameter is not
passed when starting QEMU. SPL is copied to SRAM_A.

The approach is reused from Allwinner H3 implementation.

Tested with Armbian and custom Yocto image.

+ * Emulate Boot ROM firmware setup functionality.
+ *
+ * A real Allwinner A10 SoC contains a Boot ROM
+ * which is the first code that runs right after
+ * the SoC is powered on. The Boot ROM is responsible

+ * of the supported external devices and writing the
+ * downloaded code to internal SRAM. After loading the SoC
+ * begins executing the code written to SRAM.
+ *
+ * This function emulates the Boot ROM by copying 32 KiB
+ * of data at offset 8 KiB from the given block device and writes it to
+ * the start of the first internal SRAM memory.
+ *
+ * @s: Allwinner A10 state object pointer
