CBFS is a bit like a section but with a custom format. Provide the list of
entries and the compression type to binman so that it can extract the data
from the CBFS, just like any other part of the image.

The purpose of this badly named field is a bit ambiguous. Adjust the code
to use it only to store the uncompressed length of a file, leaving it set
to None if there is no compression used. This makes it easy to see if the
value in this field is relevant / useful.
Also set data_len for compressed fields, since it should be the length of
the compressed data, not the uncompressed data.

At present a file with no explicit CBFS offset is placed in the next
available location but there is no way to find out where it ended up.
Update and rename the get_data() function to provide this information.

A feature of CBFS is that it allows files to be positioned at particular
offset (as with binman in general). This is useful to support
execute-in-place (XIP) code, since this may not be relocatable.
Add a new cbfs-offset property to control this.

When there is lots of open space in a CBFS it is normally padded with
'empty' files so that sequentially scanning the CBFS can skip from one to
the next without a break.
Add support for this.

Coreboot uses a simple flash-based filesystem called Coreboot Filesystem
(CBFS) to organise files used during boot. This allows files to be named
and their position in the flash to be set. It has special features for
dealing with x86 devices which typically memory-map their SPI flash to the
top of 32-bit address space and need a 'boot block' ending there.
Create a library to help create and read CBFS files. This includes a
writer class, a reader class and associated other helpers. Only a subset
of features are currently supported.
