Binman construct images consisting of multiple binary files. These files
sometimes need to know (at run timme) where their peers are located. For
example, SPL may want to know where U-Boot is located in the image, so
that it can jump to U-Boot correctly on boot.
In general the positions where the binaries end up after binman has
finished packing them cannot be known at compile time. One reason for
this is that binman does not know the size of the binaries until
everything is compiled, linked and converted to binaries with objcopy.
To make this work, we add a feature to binman which checks each binary
for symbol names starting with '_binman'. These are then decoded to figure
out which entry and property they refer to. Then binman writes the value
of this symbol into the appropriate binary. With this, the symbol will
have the correct value at run time.
Macros are used to make this easier to use. As an example, this declares
a symbol that will access the 'u-boot-spl' entry to find the 'pos' value
(i.e. the position of SPL in the image):
binman_sym_declare(unsigned long, u_boot_spl, pos);
This converts to a symbol called '_binman_u_boot_spl_prop_pos' in any
binary that includes it. Binman then updates the value in that binary,
ensuring that it can be accessed at runtime with:
ulong u_boot_pos = binman_sym(ulong, u_boot_spl, pos);
This assigns the variable u_boot_pos to the position of SPL in the image.

This is only 3 bytes long which is not enough to hold two symbol values,
needed to test the binman symbols feature. Increase it to 15 bytes.
Using very small regions is useful since we can easily compare them in
tests and errors are fairly easy to diagnose.

For testing we need to build some ELF files containing binman symbols. Add
these to the Makefile and check in the binaries:
u_boot_binman_syms - normal, valid ELF file
u_boot_binman_syms_bad - missing the __image_copy_start symbol
u_boot_binman_syms_size - has a binman symbol with an invalid size

In some cases we need to read symbols from U-Boot. At present we have a
a few cases which does this via 'nm' and 'grep'.
It is better to use objdump since that tells us the size of the symbols
and also whether it is weak or not.
Add a new module which reads ELF information from files. Update existing
uses of 'nm' to use this module.

These test programs are includedd as binary files in U-Boot to avoid
having to build them (and associated toolchain differences). Instructions
on building are in the files themselves, but it seems better to provide
a Makefile which can be manually run when desired.
Add a Makefile, separate from the normal build system, to handle this.

There is a debugging option in the Makefile to allow people to figure out
which u-boot.dtsi files are used in the build. But is it not easy to use

The pylibfdt is used by dtoc (and, indirectly by binman), but there
is no reason why it must be generated in the tools/ directory.
Recently, U-Boot switched over to the bundled DTC, and the directory
structure under scripts/dtc/ now mirrors the upstream DTC project.
So, scripts/dtc/pylibfdt is the best location.
I also rewrote the Makefile in a cleaner Kbuild style.
The scripts from the upstream have been moved as follows:
lib/libfdt/pylibfdt/setup.py -> scripts/dtc/pylibfdt/setup.py
lib/libfdt/pylibfdt/libfdt.i -> scripts/dtc/pylibfdt/libfdt.i_shipped
The .i_shipped is coped to .i during building because the .i must be
located in the objtree when we build it out of tree.
