Binman supports quite a number of different entries now. The operation of
these is not always obvious but at present the source code is the only
reference for understanding how an entry works.
Add a way to create documentation (from the source code) which can be put
in a new 'README.entries' file.

At present only binman has the logic for determining Python test coverage
but this is useful for other tools also. Move it out into a separate file
so it can be used by other tools.

Move all the test execution into the same mechanism so that we can request
a particular test (from any suite) by passing it as an argument to
'binman -t'.

The most portable way to get access to coverage is to invoke it as
'python-coverage'.

At present we set the Python path at the start of binman so we can read
modules in the 'etype' directory. This is a bit messy since it affects
'import' statements through binman.
Adjust the code to set the path locally, just where it is needed. Move
the 'entry' module in with the other base modules to help with this. It
makes more sense here anyway since it does not implement an entry type.

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.

The elf module can provide some debugging information to assist with
figuring out what is going wrong. This is also useful in tests. Update the
-D option so that it is passed through to tests as well.

In some cases we need to read symbols from U-Boot. At present we have a
a few cases which does this via 'nm' and 'grep'.
It is better to use objdump since that tells us the size of the symbols
and also whether it is weak or not.
Add a new module which reads ELF information from files. Update existing
uses of 'nm' to use this module.

Add a test that the 'entry' module works with or without importlib.
The tests are numbered so that they are executed in the correct order.

At present these tests use the same filename as patman. This adds
confusion when running all tests, since error messages look very similar.
In fact binman tries to run the wrong tests at present.
Rename the tests.

The pylibfdt is used by dtoc (and, indirectly by binman), but there
is no reason why it must be generated in the tools/ directory.
Recently, U-Boot switched over to the bundled DTC, and the directory
structure under scripts/dtc/ now mirrors the upstream DTC project.
So, scripts/dtc/pylibfdt is the best location.
I also rewrote the Makefile in a cleaner Kbuild style.
The scripts from the upstream have been moved as follows:
lib/libfdt/pylibfdt/setup.py -> scripts/dtc/pylibfdt/setup.py
lib/libfdt/pylibfdt/libfdt.i -> scripts/dtc/pylibfdt/libfdt.i_shipped
The .i_shipped is coped to .i during building because the .i must be
located in the objtree when we build it out of tree.

If a system module is named the same as one of those used by binman we
currently pick the system module. Adjust the ordering so that our modules
are chosen instead.
The module conflict reported was 'tools' from jira-python. I cannot access
that package to test it.

Some OS (all BSD and probably others) do not have python in /usr/bin
but in another directory.
It is a common usage to use /usr/bin/env python as shebang for python
scripts so use this for binman.

This adds the basic code for binman, including command parsing, processing
of entries and generation of images.
So far no entry types are supported. These will be added in future commits
as examples of how to add new types.
