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).

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

At present binman cannot replace data within a CBFS since it does not
allow rewriting of the files in that CBFS. Implement this by using the
new WriteData() method to handle the case.
Add a header to compressed data so that the amount of compressed data can
be determined without reference to the size of the containing entry. This
allows the entry to be larger that the contents, without causing errors in
decompression. This is necessary to cope with a compressed device tree
being updated in such a way that it shrinks after the entry size is
already set (an obscure case). It is not used with CBFS since it has its
own metadata for this. Increase the number of passes allowed to resolve
the position of entries, to handle this case.
Add a test for this new logic.

CBFS is a bit like a section but with a custom format. Provide the list of
entries and the compression type to binman so that it can extract the data
from the CBFS, just like any other part of the image.

The purpose of this badly named field is a bit ambiguous. Adjust the code
to use it only to store the uncompressed length of a file, leaving it set
to None if there is no compression used. This makes it easy to see if the
value in this field is relevant / useful.
Also set data_len for compressed fields, since it should be the length of
the compressed data, not the uncompressed data.

At present a file with no explicit CBFS offset is placed in the next
available location but there is no way to find out where it ended up.
Update and rename the get_data() function to provide this information.

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.

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.

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.
