Subject: [PATCH v2] serial: liteuart: Add support for earlycon

Most litex boards using RISC-V soft cores us the sbi earlycon, however
this is not available for non RISC-V litex SoC's. This patch enables
earlycon for liteuart which is available on all Litex SoC's making
support for earycon debugging more widely available.

Changes since v1:
- Fixed subject
- Fixed ifdef and config issues pointed out by Jiri
- Use liteuart_putchar instead of early_liteuart_putc
