[PATCH V5 4/9] binman: introduce no-u-boot-any property

[Peng Fan (OSS)]

From: Peng Fan <peng.fan at nxp.com>

By default when BINMAN_SYMBOLS is enabled, common/spl/spl.c has a code
piece `binman_sym_declare(ulong, u_boot_any, image_pos);` which requires
u-boot* node in device tree binman node section. But some
platforms(i.MX8M) not need it. To avoid build break with BINMAN_SYMBOLS,
introduce a no-u-boot-any property.

 The attributes supported for images and sections are described below. Several
 are similar to those for entries.
