bf776679a7 patman: Move to absolute imports
At present patman sets the python path on startup so that it can access
the libraries it needs. If we convert to use absolute imports this is not
necessary.

Move patman to use absolute imports. This requires changes in tools which
use the patman libraries (which is most of them).

Move binman to use absolute imports. This enables removable of the path
adjusting in Entry also.

3b3e3c0f6c patman: Adjust 'command' to return strings instead of bytes
At present all the 'command' methods return bytes. Most of the time we
actually want strings, so change this. We still need to keep the internal
representation as bytes since otherwise unicode strings might break over
a read() boundary (e.g. 4KB), causing errors. But we can convert the end
result to strings.

Add a 'binary' parameter to cover the few cases where bytes are needed.

e073d4e14f binman: Add support for fixed-offset files in CBFS
A feature of CBFS is that it allows files to be positioned at particular
offset (as with binman in general). This is useful to support
execute-in-place (XIP) code, since this may not be relocatable.

Add a new cbfs-offset property to control this.

7c173ced64 binman: Pad empty areas of the CBFS with files
When there is lots of open space in a CBFS it is normally padded with
'empty' files so that sequentially scanning the CBFS can skip from one to
the next without a break.

Add support for this.

4997a7ed05 binman: Add a utility library for coreboot CBFS
Coreboot uses a simple flash-based filesystem called Coreboot Filesystem
(CBFS) to organise files used during boot. This allows files to be named
and their position in the flash to be set. It has special features for
dealing with x86 devices which typically memory-map their SPI flash to the
top of 32-bit address space and need a 'boot block' ending there.

Create a library to help create and read CBFS files. This includes a
writer class, a reader class and associated other helpers. Only a subset
of features are currently supported.
