While the `env export` can take as parameters variables to be exported,
`env import` does not have such a mechanism of variable selection.

Let's add a `-w` option that asks `env import` to look for the
`whitelisted_vars` env variable for a space-separated list of variables
that are whitelisted.

Every env variable present in env at `addr` and in `whitelisted_vars`
env variable will override the value of the variable in the current env.
All the remaining variables are left untouched.

One of its use case could be to load a secure environment from the
signed U-Boot binary and load only a handful of variables from an
other, unsecure, environment without completely losing control of
U-Boot.

It's been two months since I posted this patch and there hasn't been any
review.

Is there something to improve?
Is there an other approach to take?

I'm all ears.

Thanks,
Quentin
