At present this method assumes that the parent section does not need
to recalculate its position or adjust any metadata it may contain. But
when the entry changes size this may not be true. Also if the parent
section is more than just a container (e.g. it is a CBFS) then the
section may need to regenerate its output.
Add a new WriteChildData() method to sections and call this from the
WriteData() method, to handle this situation.

At present we simply extract the data directly from entries using the
image_pos information. This happens to work on current entry types, but
cannot work if the entry type encodes the data in some way. Update the
ReadData() method to provide the data by calling a new ReadChildData()
method in the parent. This allows the entry_Section class, or possibly
any other container class, to return the correct data in all cases.

Sometimes an entry may shrink after it has already been packed. In that
case we must repack the items. Of course it is always possible to just
leave the entry at its original size and waste space at the end. This is
what binman does by default, since there is the possibility of the entry
changing size every time binman calculates its contents, thus causing a
loop.

The positioning does not currently work correctly if at the end of an
image with no fixed size. Also if the header is in the middle of an image
it can cause a gap in the image since the header position is normally at
the image end, so entries after it are placed after the end of the image.
Fix these problems and add more tests to cover these cases.

At present it is not possible to discover the contraints to repacking an

At present we have an 'image' property in the entry for this purpose, but
this is not necessary and seems error-prone in the presence of
inheritance. Add a function instead. The Entry_section class overrides
this with a special version, since top-level sections are in fact images,
since Image inherits Entry_section.

At present the Entry constructor sets up the object and then immediately
reads its device-tree node to obtain its properties.
This breaks a convention that constructors should not do any processing.
A consequence is that we must pass all arguments to the constructor and
cannot have the node-reading proceed in a different way unless we pass
flags to that constructor. We already have a 'test' flag in a few cases,
and now need to control whether the 'orig_offset' and 'orig_size'
properties are set or not.
Adjust the code to require a separate call to ReadNode() after
construction. The Image class remains as it was.

At present the FDTs are keyed by their default filename (not their actual
filename). It seems easier to key by the entry type, since this is always
the same for each FDT type.
To do this, add a new Entry method called GetFdtEtype(). This is necessary
since some entry types contain a device tree which are not the simple
three entry types 'u-boot-dtb', 'u-boot-spl' or 'u-boot-tpl'.
The code already returns a dict for GetFdt(). Update the value of that
dict to include the filename so that existing code can work.

When support for sections (and thus hierarchical images) was added to
binman, the decision was made to create a new Section class which could
be used by both Image and an Entry_section class. The decision between
using inheritance and composition was tricky to make, but in the end it
was decided that Image was different enough from Entry that it made sense
to put the implementation of sections in an entirely separate class. It
also has the advantage that core Image code does have to rely on an entry
class in the etype directory.
This work was mostly completed in commit:
8f1da50ccc "binman: Refactor much of the image code into 'section'
As a result of this, the Section class has its own version of things like
offset and size and these must be kept in sync with the parent
Entry_section class in some cases.
In the last year it has become apparent that the cost of keeping things in
sync is larger than expected, since more and more code wants to access
these properties.
An alternative approach, previously considered and rejected, now seems
better.
Adjust Image to be a subclass of Entry_section. Move the code from Section
(in bsection.py) to Entry_section and delete Section. Update all tests
accordingly.
This requires substantial changes to Image. Overall the changes reduce
code size by about 240 lines. While much of that is just boilerplate from
Section, there are quite a few functions in Entry_section which now do not
need to be overiden from Entry. This suggests the change is beneficial
even without further functionality being added.
A side benefit is that the properties of sections are now consistent with
other entries. This fixes a problem in testListCmd() where some properties
are missing for sections.
Unfortunately this is a very large commit since it is not feasible to do
the migration piecemeal. Given the substantial tests available and the
100% code coverage of binman, we should be able to do this safely.

Add support for detecting entries that change size after they have already

Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
At present if this function tries to update the contents such that the
size changes, it raises an error. We plan to add the ability to change
the size of entries after packing is completed, since in some cases it is
not possible to determine the size in advance.
An example of this is with a compressed device tree, where the values
of the device tree change in SetCalculatedProperties() or
ProcessEntryContents(). While the device tree itself does not change size,
since placeholders for any new properties have already bee added by
AddMissingProperties(), we cannot predict the size of the device tree
after compression. If a value changes from 0 to 0x1234 (say), then the
compressed device tree may expand.
As a first step towards supporting this, make ProcessContentsUpdate()
return a value indicating whether the content size is OK. For now this is
always True (since otherwise binman raises an error), but later patches
will adjust this.
