[U-Boot] [RFC PATCH v2] patman: add distutils based installer

[Chris Packham]

To make it easier to use patman on other projects add a distutils style
installer. Now patman can be installed with

  cd u-boot/tools/patman && python setup.py install

There are also the usual distutils options for creating source/binary
distributions of patman.

This gives us something that can be distributed separately as well as
in-tree. The import trick allows the python module "patman" to be
distributed and enables in-tree use without moving things around. An
alternative would be to move the files into a sub directory
(unfortunately a directory called "patman" would clash with the existing
symlink). I've left this as RFC so that the community can decide if we
want to live with this ugliness or come up with something else.

Thanks,
Chris

Changes in v2:
- Install as "patman" package
- Allow running in-tree or out-of-tree
