Since Ubuntu Jammy lz4-tools is only a virtual package which pulls in
lz4 as dependency.

Update documentation too.

<title>Docker, CI: Add vexpress_fvp / vexpress_fvp_bloblist support</title>

This adds the vexpress_fvp and vexpress_fvp_bloblist platforms to the
list of platforms we test via emulator in CI. In order to do this we
need to first have our container runtime have TF-A builds for the
vexpress_fvp platform, both with and without transfer list support as
well as installing "telnet" so that we can access console. In the CI
files we check for the existence of /opt/tf-a/${TEST_PY_BD} and if
found, copy bl1.bin and fip.bin to /tmp and set the variables so that we
can later run FVP to run.

Note that we currently disable the hostfs (semihosting) tests as they
trigger a bug in FVP. This has been reported upstream, and can be
enabled when fixed.

<title>python: Use and refer to the venv module rather than virtualenv</title>

Using some form of sandbox with Python modules is a long standing best
practice with the language. There are a number of ways to have a Python
sandbox be created. At this point in time, it seems the Python community
is moving towards using the "venv" module provided with Python rather
than a separate tool. To match that we make the following changes:

- Refer to a "Python sandbox" rather than virtualenv in comments, etc.
- Install the python3-venv module in our container and not virtualenv.
- In our CI files, invoke "python -m venv" rather than "virtualenv".
- In documentation, tell users to install python3-venv and not
  virtualenv.

We had previously gotten this package through a chain of dependencies
with guestfs-tools. Now that we no longer install that package, install
fdisk (for sfdisk) directly.

There are some reference platforms from Arm which are not found in QEMU
but instead in the FVP tool. As we can make use of this in CI later on,
download and extract it in our Dockerfile today.

Outside of changing versions here the other visible change is that we
tell grub that riscv64 does not have "large model" support. Without this
change the resulting mkimage is non-functional. This is known upstream
already.

Tom Rini &lt;trini@konsulko.com&gt; says:

One thing that Simon Glass has noted is that our pytest run time keeps
getting longer. Looking at:
https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/pipelines/25011/test_report?job_name=sandbox%20test.py%3A%20%5Bfast%20amd64%5D
we can see that some of the longest running tests are a little puzzling.
It turns out that we have two ways of making filesystem images without
requiring root access and one of them is significantly slower than the
other. This series changes us from using virt-make-fs to only using the
mk_fs helper that currently resides in test_ut.py which uses standard
userspace tools. The final result can be seen at:
https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/pipelines/25015/test_report?job_name=sandbox%20test.py%3A%20%5Bfast%20amd64%5D
and the tests changed here now run much quicker.
