tools: move kermit files to tools/kermit directory
The script files, define2mk.sed and make-asm-offsets are used to create autoconf.mk and asm-offsets.h while build. Whereas README, dot.kermrc, flash_param, send_cmd, send_image are files useful for kermit. We should not put files which have the totally different purpose into the same directory. This commit creates a new directory, tools/kermit, and move kermit files into it. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.m@jp.panasonic.com> Cc: Wolfgang Denk <wd@denx.de>

+This directory contains scripts that help to perform certain actions
+that need to be done frequently when working with U-Boot.
+
+They are meant as EXAMPLE code, so it is very likely that you will
+have to modify them before use.

+dot.kermrc:
+
+ Example for "~/.kermrc" Kermit init file for use with U-Boot
+
+ by Wolfgang Denk, 24 Jun 2001
+
+flash_param:
+
+ "kermit" script to automatically initialize the environment
+ variables on your target. This is most useful during
+ development when your environment variables are stored in an
+ embedded flash sector which is erased whenever you install a
+ new U-Boot image.

+
+send_cmd:
+
+ send_cmd U_BOOT_COMMAND
+
+ "kermit" script to send a U-Boot command and print the
+ results. When used from a shell with history (like the bash)
+ this indirectly adds kind of history to U-Boot ;-)

+send_image:
+
+ send_image FILE_NAME OFFSET
+
+ "kermit" script to automatically download a file to the
+ target using the "loadb" command (kermit binary protocol)
