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.

WIth EFI we must embed the devicetree in an ELF image so that it is loaded
as part of the executable file. We want it to include the binman
definition in there also, which in some cases cannot be created until the
ELF (u-boot) is built. Add an option to binman to support writing the
updated dtb to the ELF file u-boot.out

This is useful with the EFI app, which is always packaged as an ELF file.

One of binman's attributes is that it is extremely fast, at least for a
Python program. Add some simple timing around operations that might take
a while, such as reading an image and compressing it. This should help
to maintain the performance as new features are added.

This is for debugging purposes only.

Some images may take a while to build, e.g. if they are large and use slow
compression. Support compiling sections in parallel to speed things up.

(fixed to use a separate test file to fix flakiness)

Add a link to binman's documentation and adjust the files so that it is
accessible. Use the name README.rst so it is easy to discover when binman
is installed without U-Boot.

Add support for this feature in the control, image and section modules, so
that expanded entries will be selected by default. So far there are no
expanded entry types, so this is a nop.

Extracting files to the current directory is not normally a very friendly
thing to do, but it can be warranted, e.g. in a new temporary dir. At
present binman reports an error when such an attempt is made. Fix it.

Update the log output to show the size, since this is useful information.
