A discussion on the mailing list about dealing with block offsets and
binman symbols made me think that something is wrong with how Binman
deals with the skip-at-start property.
The feature was originally designed to handle x86 ROMs, which are mapped
at the top of the address space. That seemed too specific, whereas
skipping some space at the start seemed more generally useful.
It has proved useful. For example, rockchip images start at block 64,
so a skip-at-start of 0x8000 deals with this.
But it doesn't actually work correctly, since the image_pos value does
not give the actual position on the media.
Fix this and update the documentation, moving it into the 'section'
section.

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.

Add an entry flag called 'preserve' to indicate that an entry should be
preserved by firmware updates. Propagate this to FMAP too.

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

We don't need these now that everything uses Python 3. Remove them and
the extra code in GetBytes() and ToBytes() too.

It is easier and less error-prone to use super() when the parent type is

This reverts commit 5d3a21df6694ebd66d5c34c9d62a26edc7456fc7, reversing
changes made to 56d37f1c564107e27d873181d838571b7d7860e7.
Unfortunately this is causing CI failures:

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).

The FMAP is not intended to show the files inside a CBFS. The FMAP can be
used to locate the CBFS itself, but then the CBFS must be read to find out
what is in it.
Update the FMAP to work this way and add some debugging while we are here.

At present we have an 'image' property in the entry for this purpose, but
this is not necessary and seems error-prone in the presence of
inheritance. Add a function instead. The Entry_section class overrides
this with a special version, since top-level sections are in fact images,
since Image inherits Entry_section.

When support for sections (and thus hierarchical images) was added to
binman, the decision was made to create a new Section class which could
be used by both Image and an Entry_section class. The decision between
using inheritance and composition was tricky to make, but in the end it
was decided that Image was different enough from Entry that it made sense
to put the implementation of sections in an entirely separate class. It
also has the advantage that core Image code does have to rely on an entry
class in the etype directory.
This work was mostly completed in commit:
8f1da50ccc "binman: Refactor much of the image code into 'section'
As a result of this, the Section class has its own version of things like
offset and size and these must be kept in sync with the parent
Entry_section class in some cases.
In the last year it has become apparent that the cost of keeping things in
sync is larger than expected, since more and more code wants to access
these properties.
An alternative approach, previously considered and rejected, now seems
better.
Adjust Image to be a subclass of Entry_section. Move the code from Section
(in bsection.py) to Entry_section and delete Section. Update all tests
accordingly.
This requires substantial changes to Image. Overall the changes reduce
code size by about 240 lines. While much of that is just boilerplate from
Section, there are quite a few functions in Entry_section which now do not
need to be overiden from Entry. This suggests the change is beneficial
even without further functionality being added.
A side benefit is that the properties of sections are now consistent with
other entries. This fixes a problem in testListCmd() where some properties
are missing for sections.
Unfortunately this is a very large commit since it is not feasible to do
the migration piecemeal. Given the substantial tests available and the
100% code coverage of binman, we should be able to do this safely.

At present if this function tries to update the contents such that the
size changes, it raises an error. We plan to add the ability to change
the size of entries after packing is completed, since in some cases it is
not possible to determine the size in advance.
An example of this is with a compressed device tree, where the values
of the device tree change in SetCalculatedProperties() or
ProcessEntryContents(). While the device tree itself does not change size,
since placeholders for any new properties have already bee added by
AddMissingProperties(), we cannot predict the size of the device tree
after compression. If a value changes from 0 to 0x1234 (say), then the
compressed device tree may expand.
As a first step towards supporting this, make ProcessContentsUpdate()
return a value indicating whether the content size is OK. For now this is
always True (since otherwise binman raises an error), but later patches
will adjust this.

SetContents() should only be called to set the contents of an entry from
within the ObtainContents() call, since it has no guard against increasing
the size of the contents, thus triggering incorrect operation.
Change all such calls to use ProcessUpdateContents() instead.

Normally x86 platforms use the end-at-4gb option. This currently produces
an FMAP with positions which have a large offset. The use of end-at-4gb is
a useful convenience within binman, but we don't really want to export
a map with these offsets.
Fix this by subtracting the 'skip at start' parameter.
Also put the code which convers names to fmap format, for clarity.

Add an entry which can hold an FMAP region as used by flashrom, an
open-source flashing tool used on Linux x86 machines. This provides a
simplified non-hierarchical view of the entries in the image and has a
signature at the start to allow flashrom to find it in the image.
