The code to check the version is very similar between binaries, the most
likely only needed variables are the regex to find the version (already
supported) and the args to pass to the binary so that it prints this
version (e.g. --version, -V or similar).
Let's make it a parameter of Bintool so that code duplication can be
avoided for simple changes.

Version checking has nothing specific to compression/decompression tools
so let's move it to the Bintool class.

Add gzip bintool to binman to support on-the-fly compression of Linux

supports only gzip decompression.

This method has the same name as its class which is confusing. It is also
annoying when searching the code.
It builds a string with a colour, so rename it to build().

Each bintool has some documentation which can be useful for the user.
Add a new command that collects this and writes it into a .rst file.

Binman requires various tools to actually work, such as 'lz4' to compress
data and 'futility' to sign Chrome OS firmware. At present these are
handled in an ad-hoc manner and there is no easy way to find out what
tools are needd to build an image, nor where to obtain them.
Add an implementation of 'bintool', a base class which implements this
functionality. When a bintool is required, it can be requested from this
module, then executed. When the tool is missing, it can provide a way to
obtain it.
Note that this uses Command directly, not the tools.Run() function. This
allows proper handling of missing tools and avoids needing to catch and
re-raise exceptions.
