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.

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).

At present text entries use an indirect method to specify the text to use,
with a label pointing to the text itself.

Allow the text to be directly written into the node. This is more
convenient in cases where the text is constant.

This code reads a binary value and then uses it as a string to look up
another value. Add conversions to make this work as expected on Python 3.
