Each bintool has some documentation which can be useful for the user.
Add a new command that collects this and writes it into a .rst file.

Support collecting the available bintools needed by an image, by
scanning the entries in the image.
Also add a command-line interface to access the basic bintool features,
such as listing the bintools and fetching them if needed.

At present binman writes fake blobs to the current directory. This is not
very helpful, since the files serve no useful purpose once binman has
finished. They clutter up the source directory and affect future runs,
since the files in the current directory are often used in preference to
those in the board directory.
To avoid these problems, write them to the output directory instead.
Move the file-creation code to the Entry base class, so it can be used by
any entry type that needs it. This is required since some entry types,
such as Entry_blob_ext_list, are not subclasses of Entry_blob.

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.

In some cases entries encapsulate other data and it is useful to access
the data within. An example is the fdtmap which consists of a 16-byte
header, followed by a devicetree.
Provide an option to specify an alternative format when extracting files.
In the case of fdtmap, this is 'fdt', which produces an FDT file which can
be viewed with fdtdump.

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.

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.

This method introduces a separation between packing and checking that is
different for sections. In order to handle compression properly, we need
to be able to deal with a section's size being smaller than the
uncompressed size of its contents. It is easier to make this work if
everything happens in the Pack() method.
The only real user of CheckEntries() is entry_Section and it can call it
directly. Drop the call from 'control' and handle it locally.

This is only used by entry_Section and that class already calls it. Avoid

When a section is compressed, all entries within it are grouped together
into a compressed block of data. This obscures the start of each
individual child entry.
Avoid reporting bogus 'image-pos' properties in this case, since it is
not possible to access the entry at the location provided. The entire
section must be decompressed first.
CBFS does not support compressing whole sections, only individual files,
so needs no special handling here.

When binman is installed its main program is in a different directory
to its modules. This means that __file__ is different and we cannot use
it to obtain the path to etype/ from main.py
To fix this, move the function to the 'control' module, since it is
installed with all the other modules, including the etype/ directory.

At present the symbol information is written to binaries just before
binman exits. This is fine for entries within sections since the section
contents is calculated when it is needed, so the updated symbol values are
included in the image that is written.
However some binaries are inside entries which have already generated
their contents and do not notice that the entries have changed (e.g. Intel
IFWI).
Move the symbol writing earlier to cope with this.

At present binman cannot replace data within a CBFS since it does not
allow rewriting of the files in that CBFS. Implement this by using the
new WriteData() method to handle the case.
Add a header to compressed data so that the amount of compressed data can
be determined without reference to the size of the containing entry. This
allows the entry to be larger that the contents, without causing errors in
decompression. This is necessary to cope with a compressed device tree
being updated in such a way that it shrinks after the entry size is
already set (an obscure case). It is not used with CBFS since it has its
own metadata for this. Increase the number of passes allowed to resolve
the position of entries, to handle this case.
Add a test for this new logic.

Sometimes an entry may shrink after it has already been packed. In that
case we must repack the items. Of course it is always possible to just
leave the entry at its original size and waste space at the end. This is
what binman does by default, since there is the possibility of the entry
changing size every time binman calculates its contents, thus causing a
loop.

So far we don't allow entries to change size when repacking. But this is
not very useful since it is common for entries to change size after an
updated binary is built, etc.
Add support for this, respecting the original offset/size/alignment
constraints of the image layout. For this to work the original image
must have been created with the 'allow-repack' property.
This does not support entry types with sub-entries such as files and
CBFS, but it does support sections.

While it is useful and efficient to build images in a single pass from a
