Fix pylint errors that can be fixed and mask those that seem to be
incorrect.
A complication with binman is that it tries to avoid importing libfdt
(or anything that imports it) unless needed, so that things like help
still work if it is missing.
Note that two tests are duplicated in binman and two others have
duplicate names, so both of these issues are fixed also.

Support collecting the available bintools needed by an image, by

Also add a command-line interface to access the basic bintool features,
such as listing the bintools and fetching them if needed.

While converting to binman for an imx8mq board, it has been found that
building in the u-boot CI fails. This is because an imx8mq requires an
external binary (signed_hdmi_imx8m.bin). If this file cannot be found
mkimage fails.
To be able to build this board in the u-boot CI a binman option
(--fake-ext-blobs) is introduced that can be switched on via the u-boot
makefile option BINMAN_FAKE_EXT_BLOBS. With that the needed dummy files are
created.

In some cases entries encapsulate other data and it is useful to access
the data within. An example is the fdtmap which consists of a 16-byte
header, followed by a devicetree.
Provide an option to specify an alternative format when extracting files.
In the case of fdtmap, this is 'fdt', which produces an FDT file which can
be viewed with fdtdump.

Add a -V option which shows the version number of binman. For now this
just uses a local 'version' file. Once the tool is packaged in some way
we can figure out an approach that suits.

WIth EFI we must embed the devicetree in an ELF image so that it is loaded
as part of the executable file. We want it to include the binman
definition in there also, which in some cases cannot be created until the
ELF (u-boot) is built. Add an option to binman to support writing the
updated dtb to the ELF file u-boot.out
This is useful with the EFI app, which is always packaged as an ELF file.

(fixed to use a separate test file to fix flakiness)
Add a new command-line option to disable expanded entries. This is needed
for most tests, since it is much easier to 'factor out' this function into
a separate test and keep the existing packing tests simple.
Add the option and select it by default from tests.

Sometimes it is useful to build an image even though external binaries are

these files, albeit not producing valid images.
U-Boot does with with ATF (ARM Trusted Firmware) today.

At present the tests run one after the other using a single CPU. This is
not very efficient. Bring in the concurrencytest module and run the tests
concurrently, using one process for each CPU by default. A -P option
allows this to be overridden, which is necessary for code-coverage to
function correctly.
This requires fixing a few tests which are currently not fully
independent.
At some point we might consider doing this across all pytests in U-Boot.
There is a pytest version that supports specifying the number of processes
to use, but it did not work for me.

We use a fake device tree in tests most of the time since tests don't
normally care about the actual data. For example, for U-Boot proper we use
U_BOOT_DTB_DATA which is just a four-character string. This makes testing
the image output against an expected value very easy.
However in some cases, such as when the test wants to check that the DT
output containing particular nodes, we do actually need the real DT. Add
support for this, along with a command-line option to select 'test mode'.

After some thought, I believe there is an unfortunate naming flaw in
binman. Entries have a position and size, but now that we support
hierarchical sections it is unclear whether a position should be an
absolute position within the image, or a relative position within its
parent section.
At present 'position' actually means the relative position. This indicates
a need for an 'image position' for code that wants to find the location of
an entry without having to do calculations back through parents to
discover this image position.
A better name for the current 'position' or 'pos' is 'offset'. It is not
always an absolute position, but it is always an offset from its parent
offset.
It is unfortunate to rename this concept now, 18 months after binman was
introduced. However I believe it is the right thing to do. The impact is
mostly limited to binman itself and a few changes to in-tree users to
binman:
tegra
sunxi
x86
The change makes old binman definitions (e.g. downstream or out-of-tree)
incompatible if they use the 'pos = <...>' property. Later work will
adjust binman to generate an error when it is used.

Once binman has packed the image, the position and size of each entry is
known. It is then possible for binman to update the device tree with these
positions. Since placeholder values have been added, this does not affect
the size of the device tree and therefore the packing does not need to be
performed again.
Add a new SetCalculatedProperties method to handle this.

When U-Boot started using SPDX tags we were among the early adopters and
there weren't a lot of other examples to borrow from. So we picked the
area of the file that usually had a full license text and replaced it
with an appropriate SPDX-License-Identifier: entry. Since then, the
Linux Kernel has adopted SPDX tags and they place it as the very first
line in a file (except where shebangs are used, then it's second line)
and with slightly different comment styles than us.
In part due to community overlap, in part due to better tag visibility
and in part for other minor reasons, switch over to that style.
This commit changes all instances where we have a single declared
license in the tag as both the before and after are identical in tag
contents. There's also a few places where I found we did not have a tag
and have introduced one.
