通过搜素比对字符串保存env。
所有的env都保存在一起，每个环境变量字段都以“ ”结束，最后一个命令字段以“ ”结束。
每次uboot启动时，先读出环境变量。当设置新数据时，遍历整个env，确认是否有重复的，
有重复的删除掉，并把新数据设置到环境变量最后。
只有当运行saveenv时才把数据保存到硬件存储设备中。

env命令--common/cmd_nvedit.c
common/env_common.c供uboot调用的通用函数接口，隐藏了env的不同实现方式。
common/env_flash.c，env存储在flash的实现。
env_init()完成环境变量初始化工作，不同存储介质不同。
