[PATCH v2 00/38] binman: Add support for bintools and missing tools

[Simon Glass]

At present binman uses binary tools (like cbfstool, futiltiy, lz4) in an
ad-hoc manner. Various parts of binman use tools.Run() to run tools as
needed. If a tool is missing, an error is produced and binman stops.

However this is not ideal. CI systems want to be able to complete the
build, even if tools are missing. Ideally binman would deal with missing
binary tools the same way it deals with missing binary blobs: make a note
of it and move on.

This series introduces this feature to binman.

`Bintool` is the name binman gives to a binary tool which it uses to
create and manipulate binaries that binman cannot handle itself.

Binman provides various features to manage bintools:

- Determining whether the tool is currently installed
- Downloading or building the tool
- Determining the version of the tool that is installed
- Deciding which tools are needed to build an image

As with external blobs, bintools (which are like 'external' tools) can be
missing. When building an image requires a bintool and it is not
installed, binman detects this and reports the problem, but continues to
build an image.

Of course the image will not work, but binman reports which bintools are needed
and also provide a way to fetch them.

The final patch shows how this works in practice with a chosen board. The
Odroid-C2 is quite a complicated image with many steps. It is an ideal
example for how Binman can be used.

The series is available at u-boot-dm/bin-working

Changes in v2:
- Substantial rewrite, introducing the concept of bintools
