binman: Add a command to generate bintool docs

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.

+Binman bintool Documentation
+============================
+
+This file describes the bintools (binary tools) supported by binman. Bintools
+are binman's name for external executables that it runs to generate or process
+binaries. It is fairly easy to create new bintools. Just add a new file to the
+'btool' directory. You can use existing bintools as examples.
