u-boot: disable CONFIG_BLOBLIST on genericarm64 and qemuarm64

Booting u-boot on qemu with kvm is currently hanging on aarch64
build host. Root cause is in u-boot and CONFIG_BLOBLIST can be
disabled as a workaround.

To reproduce, build on kvm enabled host where "kvm-ok"
succeeds. For example genericarm64 machine and core-image-base
should then boot with:

$ runqemu slirp nographic novga snapshot kvm

On qemuarm64, default kvm setup will boot directly to kernel
and is not affected by this. If build enables u-boot as bios
then the same issue happens.

Without this config workaround, the boot hangs without
any messages in qemu output but ctrl-a-c to qemu console
can shutdown the emulated machine.

This seems to have regressed after u-boot 2025.04 update.
KVM boot can be detected from speed, for example genericarm64
boots in 550 ms with KVM and without in over 5 seconds.

Fixes: [YOCTO #15872]
