binman: Support updating the device tree with calc'd info
It is useful to write the position and size of each entry back to the device tree so that U-Boot can access this at runtime. Add a feature to support this, along with associated tests. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>

Some ideas:
-- Fill out the device tree to include the final position and size of each
- entry (since the input file may not always specify these). See also
- 'Access to binman entry positions at run time' above
- Use of-platdata to make the information available to code that is unable
to use device tree (such as a very small SPL image)
- Allow easy building of images by specifying just the board name
-- Produce a full Python binding for libfdt (for upstream)
+- Produce a full Python binding for libfdt (for upstream). This is nearing
+ completion but some work remains
- Add an option to decode an image into the constituent binaries
- Support building an image for a board (-b) more completely, with a
configurable build directory
