9c0a8b1f44 binman: Add docs explaining how to enable binman for a board
The process is not obvious. Add a little section to explain how to move a
board to use binman.

511fd0b2bb binman: Add better Makefile debugging
There is a debugging option in the Makefile to allow people to figure out
which u-boot.dtsi files are used in the build. But is it not easy to use
since it only shows files it finds, not those it is looking for. Update it
and update the mention of it to the docs.

6d427c6b1f binman: Automatically include a U-Boot .dtsi file
For boards that need U-Boot-specific additions to the device tree, it is
a minor annoyance to have to add these each time the tree is synced with
upstream.

Add a means to include a file (e.g. u-boot.dtsi) automatically into the .dts
file before it is compiled.

The file uses is the first one that exists in this list:

   arch/<arch>/dts/<board.dts>-u-boot.dtsi
   arch/<arch>/dts/<soc>-u-boot.dtsi
   arch/<arch>/dts/<cpu>-u-boot.dtsi
   arch/<arch>/dts/<vendor>-u-boot.dtsi
   arch/<arch>/dts/u-boot.dtsi

e0ff855138 binman: Add support for building x86 ROMs
The structure of x86 ROMs is pretty complex. There are various binary blobs
to place in the image. Microcode requires special handling so that it is
available to very early code and can be used without any memory whatsoever.

Add support for the various entry types that are currently needed, along
with some tests.

bf7fd50b3b binman: Introduce binman, a tool for building binary images
This adds the basic code for binman, including command parsing, processing
of entries and generation of images.

So far no entry types are supported. These will be added in future commits
as examples of how to add new types.

See the README for documentation.
