[PATCH v4 00/21] Universal Payload initial series

Universal Payload (UPL) is an Industry Standard for firmware
components[1]. UPL is designed to improve interoperability within the
firmware industry, allowing mixing and matching of projects with less
friction and fewer project-specific implementations. UPL is
cross-platform, supporting ARM, x86 and RISC-V initially.

This series provides some initial support for this, targeting 0.9.1 and
sandbox only.

Features still to come include:
- Support for architectures
- FIT validation
- Handoff validation
- Interoperability tests

This series is available at dm/uplb-working and requires the alist
series at dm/alist-working[2]

Changes in v4:
- Mention the return value in upl_add_image()
- Rebase to -next
- Update alist_add() calls
- Update upl_add_image()  to avoid code-size increase with fdt_getprop()

Changes in v3:
- Allow upl.h to be built by the host build
- Fix 'handed' typo
- Rebase on earlier change
- Split out into its own commit
- Use -errno instead of inventing a new error
- Use a block size of 1 if !CONFIG_SPL_LOAD_BLOCK
- Use longer error messages
- Use sizeof(*header) instead of 512

Changes in v2:
- Add a function to init the UPL process in SPL
- Add a link to the command
- Add a link to the spec
- Add a runtime flag to enable UPL
- Hang when something goes wrong, to avoid a broken boot
- Put the upl tests under their own subcommand to avoid bootstd init
- Put upl_image() calls in a common place
- Rework to use alist instead of fixed-length arrays
- Support CI testing
