Sometimes it is useful to specify the default alignment for all entries
in a section, such as when word-alignment is necessary, for example. It
is tedious and error-prone to specify this individually for each section.
Add a property to control this for a section.

Generally the content of sections is not built until the final assembly
of the image. This is partly to avoid wasting time, since the entries
within sections may change multiple times as binman works through its
various stages. This works quite well since sections exist in a strict
hierarchy, so they can be processed in a depth-first manner.
However the 'collection' entry type does not have this luxury. If it
contains a section within its 'content' list, then it must produce the
section contents, if available. That section is typically a sibling
node, i.e. not part oc the collection's hierarchy.
Add a new 'required' argument to section.GetData() to support this. When
required is True, any referenced sections are immediately built. If this
is not possible (because one of the subentries does not have its data yet)
then an error is produced.
The test for this uses a 'collection' entry type, referencing a section as
its first member. This forces a call to _BuildSectionData() with required
set to False, at first, then True later, when the image is assembled.

Normally when an entry is created, any entry arguments it has are required
to be provided, so it can actually generate its contents correctly.
However when an existing image is read, Entry objects are created for each
of the entries in the image. This happens as part of the process of
reading the image into binman.
In this case we don't need the entry arguments, since we do not intend to
regenerate the entries, or at least not unless requested. So there is no
sense in reporting an error for missing entry arguments.
Add a new property for the Image to handle this case. Update the error
reporting to be conditional on this property.

When a section is compressed, all entries within it are grouped together
into a compressed block of data. This obscures the start of each
individual child entry.
Avoid reporting bogus 'image-pos' properties in this case, since it is
not possible to access the entry at the location provided. The entire
section must be decompressed first.
CBFS does not support compressing whole sections, only individual files,

Section contents is not set up when ObtainContents() is called, since
packing often changes the layout of the contents. Ensure that the contents
are correctly recorded by making this function regenerate the section. It
is normally only called by the parent section (when packing) or by the
top-level image code, when writing out the image. So the performance
impact is fairly small.
Now that sections have their contents in their 'data' property, update

At present this method assumes that the parent section does not need
to recalculate its position or adjust any metadata it may contain. But
when the entry changes size this may not be true. Also if the parent
section is more than just a container (e.g. it is a CBFS) then the
section may need to regenerate its output.

Sometimes an entry may shrink after it has already been packed. In that
case we must repack the items. Of course it is always possible to just
leave the entry at its original size and waste space at the end. This is
what binman does by default, since there is the possibility of the entry
changing size every time binman calculates its contents, thus causing a
loop.

The positioning does not currently work correctly if at the end of an
image with no fixed size. Also if the header is in the middle of an image
it can cause a gap in the image since the header position is normally at
the image end, so entries after it are placed after the end of the image.

At present the Entry constructor sets up the object and then immediately
reads its device-tree node to obtain its properties.
This breaks a convention that constructors should not do any processing.
A consequence is that we must pass all arguments to the constructor and
cannot have the node-reading proceed in a different way unless we pass
flags to that constructor. We already have a 'test' flag in a few cases,
and now need to control whether the 'orig_offset' and 'orig_size'
properties are set or not.

When support for sections (and thus hierarchical images) was added to
binman, the decision was made to create a new Section class which could
be used by both Image and an Entry_section class. The decision between
using inheritance and composition was tricky to make, but in the end it
was decided that Image was different enough from Entry that it made sense
to put the implementation of sections in an entirely separate class. It
also has the advantage that core Image code does have to rely on an entry
class in the etype directory.
This work was mostly completed in commit:
8f1da50ccc "binman: Refactor much of the image code into 'section'
As a result of this, the Section class has its own version of things like
offset and size and these must be kept in sync with the parent
Entry_section class in some cases.
In the last year it has become apparent that the cost of keeping things in
sync is larger than expected, since more and more code wants to access
these properties.
An alternative approach, previously considered and rejected, now seems
better.
Adjust Image to be a subclass of Entry_section. Move the code from Section
(in bsection.py) to Entry_section and delete Section. Update all tests
accordingly.
This requires substantial changes to Image. Overall the changes reduce
code size by about 240 lines. While much of that is just boilerplate from
Section, there are quite a few functions in Entry_section which now do not
need to be overiden from Entry. This suggests the change is beneficial
even without further functionality being added.
A side benefit is that the properties of sections are now consistent with
other entries. This fixes a problem in testListCmd() where some properties
are missing for sections.
Unfortunately this is a very large commit since it is not feasible to do
the migration piecemeal. Given the substantial tests available and the
100% code coverage of binman, we should be able to do this safely.
