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.

Binman needs to be able to update the contents of an ELF file after it has
been build. To support this, add a function to locate the position of a
symbol's contents within the file.

Fix the comments on bss_data.c and Symbol while we are here.

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.

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.

Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

Sometimes it is useful to specify the default alignment for all entries
in a section, such as when word-alignment is necessary, for example. It
is tedious and error-prone to specify this individually for each section.

Add a property to control this for a section.

Generally the content of sections is not built until the final assembly
of the image. This is partly to avoid wasting time, since the entries
within sections may change multiple times as binman works through its
various stages. This works quite well since sections exist in a strict
hierarchy, so they can be processed in a depth-first manner.

However the 'collection' entry type does not have this luxury. If it
contains a section within its 'content' list, then it must produce the
section contents, if available. That section is typically a sibling
node, i.e. not part oc the collection's hierarchy.

Add a new 'required' argument to section.GetData() to support this. When
required is True, any referenced sections are immediately built. If this
is not possible (because one of the subentries does not have its data yet)
then an error is produced.

The test for this uses a 'collection' entry type, referencing a section as
its first member. This forces a call to _BuildSectionData() with required
set to False, at first, then True later, when the image is assembled.

The vblock entry type includes code to collect the data from a number of
other entries (not necessarily subentries) and concatenating it. This is
a useful feature for other entry types.

Make it a base class, so that vblock can use it, along with other entry
types.
