31eefd4380 binman: Support packaging U-Boot for scenarios like OF_BOARD or OF_PRIOR_STAGE
For scenarios like OF_BOARD or OF_PRIOR_STAGE, no device tree blob is
provided in the U-Boot build phase hence the binman node information
is not available. In order to support such use case, a new Kconfig
option BINMAN_STANDALONE_FDT is introduced, to tell the build system
that a device tree blob containing binman node is explicitly required
when using binman to package U-Boot.

5ff9fedc9b binman: Support default alignment for sections
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.

3d43338293 binman: Allow disabling expanding an entry
At present there is a command-line flag to disable substitution of expanded
entries. Add an option to the entry node as well, so it can be controlled
at the node level.

Add a test to cover this. Fix up the comment to the checkSymbols() function
it uses, while we are here.

61adb2d247 binman: doc: Add documentation to htmldocs
Add a link to binman's documentation and adjust the files so that it is
accessible. Use the name README.rst so it is easy to discover when binman
is installed without U-Boot.
