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 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.

At present if a devicetree blob is included in a vblock it does not deal
with updates. This is because the vblock is created once at the start and
does not have a method to update itself later, after all the entry
contents are finalised.

Fix this by adjusting how the vblock is created.

Also simplify Image.ProcessEntryContents() since it effectively duplicates
the code in Section.ProcessContents().

Normally when an entry is created, any entry arguments it has are required
to be provided, so it can actually generate its contents correctly.

However when an existing image is read, Entry objects are created for each
of the entries in the image. This happens as part of the process of
reading the image into binman.

In this case we don't need the entry arguments, since we do not intend to
regenerate the entries, or at least not unless requested. So there is no
sense in reporting an error for missing entry arguments.

Add a new property for the Image to handle this case. Update the error
reporting to be conditional on this property.

At present binman only supports resolving symbols in the same section as
the binary that uses it. This is quite limited because we often need to
group entries into different sections.

Enhance the algorithm to search the entire image for symbols.

At present this function does the padding needed around an entry. It is
easier to understand what is going on if we have a function that returns
the contents of an entry, with padding included.

Refactor the code accordingly, adding a new GetPaddedData() method.

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).
