Add CONFIG_MMC_BROKEN_CD to U-Boot config #49

This may allow PinePhones with damaged SD sockets to boot off SD.

Damaged card detect switch in microSD socket causes U-Boot to halt with:

Trying to boot from MMC1
MMC: no card present
spl: mmc init failed with error: -123
SPL: failed to boot from all boot devices
### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###

It fails even though U-Boot is running from the SD card itself. mmc_start_init tries to initialize the card and fails on the card detection.

CONFIG_MMC_BROKEN_CD should allow U-Boot to continue ignoring the state of the card detection pin.

This seems to work. Compiled with CONFIG_MMC_BROKEN_CD and tested on a PinePhone with a broken card detection switch. https://github.com/8bitgc/Jumpdrive/tree/master/test

Reopening the issue as this needs to be implemented to Jumpdrive.
