Despite the original description of these options, they are not always
image names, or even files. Some image types use these options to convey
configuration directly. Re-document these options as configuration options.
Additionally, add a new section documenting the format of the configuration
for each image type which uses it. In general, if configuration is used
directly (without a separate file) I have added documentation for it. If
the configuration points to a separate file, I have referenced that file's
documentation. Where there is no such documentation, I have added it.

The mkimage command has had many options added over the years.
Unfortunately, we are starting to run out of short options. Recent options
don't have any obvious relation to their meaning (e.g. -o/-g). Fortunately,
long options exist. Add long options for each current short option.

This puts each example in a new paragraph and uses a hanging indent for
continued lines to increase clarity. We use tabs instead of .in or .RS for
the indent because it renders properly in both man and mandoc (which is

The synopsis section is a bit messy. As an example, "uimage file name" is
printed in italics, bold, and roman (depending on the line). This cleans
things up and converts the synopsis section to use standard style. The
.SY/.YS macros set up appropriate formatting for command synopsis sections
(such as disabling hyphenation and setting a hanging indent). All parts of
the synopsis now use the following style:
- Bold for parts of the command which should be typed in by the user (such
as the program name and flags)
- Italic for parts which should be replaced (such as uimage-file-name)
- Roman for parts which should not be typed at all (such as brackets)
Multi-word variables now use hyphens to connect their words instead of
spaces. This makes it clearer that all the words are part of the same
variable. Additionally, "option ..." is used to denote where other options
may be specified, as this appears to be standard style.
In addition to the above style changes, this also makes some changes to
content. The use of the term "legacy" has been removed, since this simply
refers to any non-FIT image type. Additionally, wording like "uimage file
name" has been replaced with "image-file-name" to better reflect that
images may or may not be uImages. Lastly, the "auto" value for -f is
documented in the synopsis.

This adds support for signing images in auto-generated FITs. To do this,
we need to add a signature node. The algorithm name property already has
its own option, but we need one for the key name hint. We could have
gone the -G route and added an explicit name for the public key (like
what is done for the private key). However, many places assume the
public key can be constructed from the key dir and hint, and I don't
want to do the refactoring necessary.
As a consequence of this, it is now easier to add public keys to an
existing image without signing something. This could be done all along,
but now you don't have to create an its just to do it. Ideally, we
wouldn't create a FIT at the end. This could be done by calling
fit_image_setup_sig/info.crypto->add_verify_data directly.

Currently -l option for mkimage and dumpimage ignores option -T and always
tries to autodetect image type.
With this change it is possible to tell mkimage and dumpimage to parse
image file as specific type (and not random autodetected type). This allows
to use mkimage -l or dumpimage -l as tool for validating image.
params.type for -l option is now by default initialized to zero
(IH_TYPE_INVALID) instead of IH_TYPE_KERNEL. imagetool_get_type() for
IH_TYPE_INVALID returns NULL, which is assigned to tparams. mkimage and
dumpimage code is extended to handle tparams with NULL for -l option. And
imagetool_verify_print_header() is extended to do validation via tparams if
is not NULL.

One limitation of FIT is that all the data is 'inline' within it, using a
'data' property in each image node. This means that to find out what is in
the FIT it is necessary to scan the entire file. Once loaded it can be
scanned and then the images can be copied to the correct place in memory.
In SPL it can take a significant amount of time to copy images around in
memory. Also loading data that does not end up being used is wasteful. It
would be useful if the FIT were small, acting as a directory, with the
actual data stored elsewhere.
This allows SPL to load the entire FIT, without the images, then load the
images it wants later.
Add a -E option to mkimage to request that it output an 'external' FIT.

At present, when generating a FIT, mkimage requires a .its file containing
the structure of the FIT and referring to the images to be included.
Creating the .its file is a separate step that makes it harder to use FIT.
This is not required for creating legacy images.
Often the FIT is pretty standard, consisting of an OS image, some device
tree files and a single configuration. We can handle this case automatically
and avoid needing a .its file at all.
To start with, support automatically generate the FIT using a new '-f auto'
option. Initially this only supports adding a single image (e.g. a linux
kernel) and a single configuration.

Normally, multiple public keys can be provided and U-Boot is not
required to use all of them for verification. This is because some
images may not be signed, or may be optionally signed.
But we still need a mechanism to determine when a key must be used.
This feature cannot be implemented in the FIT itself, since anyone
could change it to mark a key as optional. The requirement for
key verification must go in with the public keys, in a place that
is protected from modification.
Add a -r option which tells mkimage to mark all keys that it uses
for signing as 'required'.
If some keys are optional and some are required, run mkimage several
times (perhaps with different key directories if some keys are very
secret) using the -F flag to update an existing FIT.
