Some image types use the -n parameter to pass in the data file. Add
support for this, with a new property.

Some boards need to load an ELF file using the 'loadables' property, but
the file has segments at different memory addresses. This means that it
cannot be supplied as a flat binary.
Allow generating a separate node in the FIT for each segment in the ELF,
with a different load address for each.
Also add checks that the fit,xxx directives are valid.

At present we only support expanding out FDT nodes. Make the operation
into an @operation property, so that others can be supported.
Re-arrange and tidy up the documentation so that it has separate
headings for each topic.

At present the 'args' property of the mkimage entry type is a string. This
makes it difficult to include CONFIG options in that property. In
particular, this does not work:
args = "-n CONFIG_SYS_SOC -E"
since the preprocessor does not operate within strings, nor does this:
args = "-n" CONFIG_SYS_SOC" "-E"
since the device tree compiler does not understand string concatenation.
With this new feature, we can do:
args = "-n", CONFIG_SYS_SOC, "-E";

This format is used in firmware binaries so we may as well supported it.
With this patch binman supports creating, listing and updating FIPs, as
well as extracting files from one, provided that an FDTMAP is also present
somewhere in the image.

Sometimes it is useful to have a list of related external blobs in a
single entry. An example is the DDR binaries used by meson. There are
9 files in total. Add support for this, so we don't have to have a
separate entry for each.

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.

When used with hierarchical images, use the Chromium OS convention of
adding a section before all the subentries it contains.

Sometimes it is useful to specify the default alignment for all entries
in a section, such as when word-alignment is necessary, for example. It
is tedious and error-prone to specify this individually for each section.
Add a property to control this for a section.

The vblock entry type includes code to collect the data from a number of
other entries (not necessarily subentries) and concatenating it. This is
a useful feature for other entry types.
Make it a base class, so that vblock can use it, along with other entry
types.

At present there is a command-line flag to disable substitution of expanded
entries. Add an option to the entry node as well, so it can be controlled
at the node level.
Add a test to cover this. Fix up the comment to the checkSymbols() function
it uses, while we are here.

Many entries start 'Entry containing a'. This looks fine in the source
code but is annoying when viewed in the htmldocs table of contents. Drop
