[RFC] imx8mm-evk: Generate a bootable flash.bin again

After the convesion to binman in commit 8996e6b7c6a1 ("imx8mm_evk: switch
to use binman to pack images"), it is necessary to flash both flash.bin and
u-boot.itb to get a bootable system. Prior to this commit, only flash.bin
was needed.

Such new requirement breaks existing distro mechanisms to generate the
final image because the extra u-boot.itb is now required.

Generate a final flash.bin image that can be used again as a single
bootable image to keep the original behavior.
