We can and should run the node generator only when creating a new image.
When we read it back, there is no need to generate nodes - they already
exits, and binman does not dive that deep into the image - and there is
no way to provide the required fdt-list. So store the mode in the image
object so that Entry_fit can simply skip generator nodes when reading
them from an fdtmap.
This unbreaks all read-backs of images that contain generator nodes in
their fdtmap. To confirm this, add a corresponding test case.

At present binman writes fake blobs to the current directory. This is not
very helpful, since the files serve no useful purpose once binman has
finished. They clutter up the source directory and affect future runs,
since the files in the current directory are often used in preference to
those in the board directory.
To avoid these problems, write them to the output directory instead.
Move the file-creation code to the Entry base class, so it can be used by

While converting to binman for an imx8mq board, it has been found that
building in the u-boot CI fails. This is because an imx8mq requires an
external binary (signed_hdmi_imx8m.bin). If this file cannot be found
mkimage fails.
To be able to build this board in the u-boot CI a binman option
(--fake-ext-blobs) is introduced that can be switched on via the u-boot
makefile option BINMAN_FAKE_EXT_BLOBS. With that the needed dummy files are
created.

Generally the content of sections is not built until the final assembly
of the image. This is partly to avoid wasting time, since the entries
within sections may change multiple times as binman works through its
various stages. This works quite well since sections exist in a strict
hierarchy, so they can be processed in a depth-first manner.
However the 'collection' entry type does not have this luxury. If it
contains a section within its 'content' list, then it must produce the
section contents, if available. That section is typically a sibling
node, i.e. not part oc the collection's hierarchy.
Add a new 'required' argument to section.GetData() to support this. When
required is True, any referenced sections are immediately built. If this
is not possible (because one of the subentries does not have its data yet)
then an error is produced.
The test for this uses a 'collection' entry type, referencing a section as
its first member. This forces a call to _BuildSectionData() with required
set to False, at first, then True later, when the image is assembled.

At present if a devicetree blob is included in a vblock it does not deal

Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
Normally when an entry is created, any entry arguments it has are required
to be provided, so it can actually generate its contents correctly.
However when an existing image is read, Entry objects are created for each
of the entries in the image. This happens as part of the process of
reading the image into binman.
In this case we don't need the entry arguments, since we do not intend to
regenerate the entries, or at least not unless requested. So there is no
sense in reporting an error for missing entry arguments.
Add a new property for the Image to handle this case. Update the error
reporting to be conditional on this property.

At present this function adds up the total size of entries to work out the

We may as well bite the bullet and build the section contents instead.
Call _BuildSectionData() to get the (possibly compressed) contents and
GetPaddedData() to get the same but with padding added.
Note that this is inefficient since the section contents is calculated
twice. Future work will improve this.
This affects testPackOverlapMap() since the error is reported with a
different section size now (enough to hold the contents). Update that at
the same time.
