The patman directory has a number of modules which are used by other tools
in U-Boot. This makes it hard to package the tools using pypi since the
common files must be copied along with the tool that uses them.
To address this, move these files into a new u_boot_pylib library. This
can be packaged separately and listed as a dependency of each tool.

The current support for updating variables in a binary is hard-coded to

- It uses the existing U-Boot-specific entry types

Binman lets us declare symbols in SPL/TPL that refer to other entries in
the same binman image as them. These symbols are filled in with the
correct values while binman assembles the images, but this is done
in-memory only. Symbols marked as optional can be filled with
BINMAN_SYM_MISSING as an error value if their referred entry is missing.
However, the unmodified SPL/TPL binaries are still available on disk,
and can be used by people. For these files, nothing ensures that the
symbols are set to this error value, and they will be considered valid
when they are not.
Empirically, all symbols show up as zero in a sandbox_vpl build when we
run e.g. tpl/u-boot-tpl directly. On the other hand, zero is a perfectly
fine value for a binman-written symbol, so we cannot say the symbols
have wrong values based on that.
Declare a magic symbol that binman always fills in with a fixed value.
Check this value as an indicator that symbols were filled in correctly.
Return the error value for all symbols when this magic symbol has the
wrong value.
For binman tests, we need to make room for the new symbol in the mocked
SPL/TPL data by extending them by four bytes. This messes up some test
image layouts. Fix the affected values, and check the magic symbol
wherever it makes sense.

Currently, binman always runs the compile tools like cc, objcopy, strip,
etc. using their literal name. Instead, this patch makes it use the
target-specific versions by default, derived from the tool-specific
environment variables (CC, OBJCOPY, STRIP, etc.) or from the
CROSS_COMPILE environment variable.
For example, the u-boot-elf etype directly uses 'strip'. Trying to run
the tests with 'CROSS_COMPILE=i686-linux-gnu- binman test' on an arm64
host results in the '097_elf_strip.dts' test to fail as the arm64
version of 'strip' can't understand the format of the x86 ELF file.
This also adjusts some command.Output() calls that caused test errors or
failures to use the target versions of the tools they call. After this,
patch, an arm64 host can run all tests with no errors or failures using
a correct CROSS_COMPILE value.

A recent change adjusted the symbol calculation to work on x86 but broke
it for Tegra. In fact this is because they have different needs.
On x86 devices the code is linked to a ROM address and the end-at-4gb
property is used for the image. In this case there is no need to add the
base address of the image, since the base address is already built into
the offset and image-pos properties.
On other devices we must add the base address since the offsets start at
zero.
In addition the base address is currently added to the 'offset' and 'size'
values. It should in fact only be added to 'image-pos', since 'offset' is
relative to its parent and 'size' is not actually an address. This code
should have been adjusted when support for 'image-pos' and 'size' was
added, but it was not.
To correct these problems:
- move the code that handles adding the base address to section.py, which
can check the end-at-4gb property and which property
(offset/size/image-pos) is being read
- add the base address only when needed (only for image-pos and not if the
image uses end-at-4gb)
- add a note to the documentation
- add a separate test to cover x86 behaviour

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.

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.

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.
