This newer pylint produces errors about variables possibly being used
before being set. Adjust the code to pass these checks.

The patman directory has a number of modules which are used by other tools
in U-Boot. This makes it hard to package the tools using pypi since the
common files must be copied along with the tool that uses them.

To address this, move these files into a new u_boot_pylib library. This
can be packaged separately and listed as a dependency of each tool.

Fix pylint errors that can be fixed and mask those that seem to be
incorrect.

A complication with binman is that it tries to avoid importing libfdt
(or anything that imports it) unless needed, so that things like help
still work if it is missing.

Note that two tests are duplicated in binman and two others have
duplicate names, so both of these issues are fixed also.

Convert this file to snake case and update all files which use it.

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.

It is easier and less error-prone to use super() when the parent type is
needed. Update binman to remove the type names.

At present patman sets the python path on startup so that it can access
the libraries it needs. If we convert to use absolute imports this is not
necessary.

Move patman to use absolute imports. This requires changes in tools which
use the patman libraries (which is most of them).
