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.

The comment for this function is missing an argument and the return value.
Fix it.

At present testThreadTimeout() assumes that the expected timeout happens
first when building the section, but it can just as easily happen at the
top-level image. Update the test to cope with both.

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 an entry for RISC-V OpenSBI's 'fw_dynamic' firmware payload.

Currently there are 2 binman test cases using the same 172 number.
It seems that 172_fit_fdt.dts was originally named as 170_, but
commit c0f1ebe9c1b9 ("binman: Allow selecting default FIT configuration")
changed its name to 172_ for no reason. Let's change it back.

When used with hierarchical images, use the Chromium OS convention of
adding a section before all the subentries it contains.

Use an interator in two of the fmap tests so it is easier to add new
items. Also check the name first since that is the first indication
that something is wrong. Use a variable for the expected size of the
fmap to avoid repeating the code.
