Enable EFI_ARMSTUB_DTB_LOADER to add support for the dtb= command line

Required to boot on existing bootloaders that do not support devicetree

Why did Ard create an option for this if it's just going be turned on
in default configs? Doesn't make sense to me.

It would help to know what firmware still is crippled and how common
it is, since it's been a few years that this has been a requirement by
now.

Broadcom NS2 and Stingray in current development and production need 
this option in the kernel enabled in order to boot.
