Simon Glass 04e6a6b9ec binman: Convert existing binary blobs to blob_ext
Many of the existing blobs rely on external binaries which may not be
available. Move them over to use blob_ext to indicate this.

Unfortunately cros-ec-rw cannot use this class because it inherits
another. So set the 'external' value for that class.

While we are here, drop the import of Entry since it is not used (and
pylint3 complains).

"""Entry containing an Intel Management Engine (ME) file
Properties / Entry arguments:
- filename: Filename of file to read into entry
This file contains code used by the SoC that is required to make it work.
The Management Engine is like a background task that runs things that are
not clearly documented, but may include keyboard, display and network
access. For platform that use ME it is not possible to disable it. U-Boot
does not directly execute code in the ME binary.
A typical filename is 'me.bin'.
The position of this entry is generally set by the intel-descriptor entry.
See README.x86 for information about x86 binary blobs.
