[PATCH 3/8] binman: Add a null entry

Thu Jan 12 00:10:14 CET 2023
It is sometimes useful to define an entry which does not have its own
contents but does appear in the image. The contents are set by the section
which contains it, even though it appears as an entry in the fdtmap.
Add support for this.
