This is a proper fix for:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=755787
With this patch, an admin (system builder) can now:
1) Edit /usr/lib/ostree-boot/uEnv.txt
2) Deploy the new tree. OSTree will append system's uEnv.txt
to the OSTree's managed uEnv.txt (loader/uEnv.txt).
It is common for u-boot systems to read in an extra env
from external /uEnv.txt. The same file OSTree uses to pass
in its env. With this patch /uEnv.txt now contains OSTree's
env + custom env added by system builders.

Why not to use libexecdir?
Because this directory does not exist on some distros or paths
between distros varies. There are several reasons why a well
known path is prefered, for example when generating a kernel
command line:
init=${ostree}/usr/lib/ostree-boot/ostree-prepare-root
In addition this saves us some typing in a console when wanting
to access the "ostree" cmd line.
