commit 08b873457 ("deploy: Remove checksum from generated loader entries")
changed the generated loader entries file names thus making the U-Boot test
case to fail since this test parsed those files.
Fix test-admin-deploy-uboot.sh by looking to the updated files names.

libtest.sh has an setup_os_repository() helper function tha is
used by many tests to setup an OSTree initial repository.
This function creates an syslinux configuration unconditionally
but OSTree supports other bootloader backends besides syslinux.
So, is better to conditionally create a syslinux configuration
only when it is needed.

Currently, when deploying an OSTree that does not contain a
bootloader configuration it fails with the following message:
"No known bootloader configuration detected"
A bootloader configuration is not strictly necessary if the
bootloader used is able to parse /boot/loader/entries on boot.
So, failing to deploy seems to be a little harsh. It is better
to just not write the bootloader configuration if a previous
one was not found but still swap the bootversion.

This patch adds support to generate files that
can be used by Universal Bootloader (U-Boot).
U-Boot allows to modify boards default boot commands by
reading and executing a bootscript file or importing a
plain text file that contains environment variables that
could parameterize the boot command or a bootscript.
OSTree generates a uEnv.txt file that contains booting
information that is taken from Boot Loader Specification
snippets files as defined in the new OSTree deployment model:
https://wiki.gnome.org/OSTree/DeploymentModel2
On deploy or upgrade an uEnv.txt env var file is created
in the path /boot/loader.${bootversion}/uEnv.txt. Also, a
/boot/uEnv.txt symbolic link to loader/uEnv.txt is created
so U-Boot can always import the file from a fixed path.
Since U-Boot does not support a menu to list a set of
Operative Systems, the most recent bootloader configuration
from the list is used.
To boot an OSTree using the generated uEnv.txt file, a
board has to parameterize its default boot command using the
following variables defined by OSTree:
${kernel_image}: path to the Linux kernel image
${ramdisk_image}: path to the initial ramdisk image
${bootargs}: parameters passed to the kernel command line
Alternatively, for boards that don't support this scheme,
a bootscript that overrides the default boot command can be used.
An example of such a bootscript could be:
setenv scriptaddr 40008000
setenv kernel_addr 0x40007000
setenv ramdisk_addr 0x42000000
ext2load mmc 0:1 ${scriptaddr} uEnv.txt
env import -t ${scriptaddr} ${filesize}
ext2load mmc 0:1 ${kernel_addr} ${kernel_image}
ext2load mmc 0:1 ${ramdisk_addr} ${ramdisk_image}
bootm ${kernel_addr} ${ramdisk_addr}
