[OE-core][PATCH v6 0/3] Add a new bbclass that abstracts the generation of FIT blobs

["Nandor Han" <nandor.han@vaisala.com>]

Description
----------
Add a new class and unittest for generating FIT blobs.


Testing
-------

    1. linux-yocto_5.4.bbappend was modified to have the following configuration:

    ```
    inherit fit-image

    KERNEL_IMAGE_NODE[name] = "kernel"
    KERNEL_IMAGE_NODE[description] = "${PF}"
    KERNEL_IMAGE_NODE[data] = '/incbin/("./arch/${ARCH}/boot/zImage")'
    KERNEL_IMAGE_NODE[type] = "kernel"
    KERNEL_IMAGE_NODE[arch] = "${ARCH}"
    KERNEL_IMAGE_NODE[os] = "linux"
    KERNEL_IMAGE_NODE[compression] = "none"
    KERNEL_IMAGE_NODE[load] = "${UBOOT_LOADADDRESS}"
    KERNEL_IMAGE_NODE[entry] = "${UBOOT_ENTRYPOINT}"
    KERNEL_IMAGE_NODE[hash] = "sha256"

    FDT_IMAGE_NODE[name] = "fdt"
    FDT_IMAGE_NODE[description] = "FDT blob"
    FDT_IMAGE_NODE[data] = '/incbin/("./arch/${ARCH}/boot/dts/am335x-bone.dtb")'
    FDT_IMAGE_NODE[type] = "flat_dt"
    FDT_IMAGE_NODE[arch] = "${ARCH}"
    FDT_IMAGE_NODE[compression] = "none"
    FDT_IMAGE_NODE[hash] = "sha256"

    CONF1_CONF_NODE[name] = "conf"
    CONF1_CONF_NODE[description] = "Linux kernel and FDT blob"
    CONF1_CONF_NODE[kernel] = "kernel"
    CONF1_CONF_NODE[fdt] = "fdt"

    FIT_IMAGES_NODE = "KERNEL_IMAGE_NODE FDT_IMAGE_NODE"
    FIT_CONFIGURATIONS_NODE = "CONF1_CONF_NODE"
    FIT_CONFIGURATIONS_NODE[default] = "${@d.getVarFlag('CONF1_CONF_NODE', 'name') or ""}"
    ```
    2. Build the kernel: `bitbake virtual/kernel`
    3. Verify that `image-fit.itb` is present in the build directory: PASS
    4. Disassemble the image using the command: `dtc -I dtb -O dts image-fit.itb`
    5. Verify that the FIT source contains the expected configuration: PASS
    6. Run the unittest using the command: `oe-selftest --run-tests fit_image.FitImage`
    7. Verify that is successfully: PASS
    ```

    Changes since v1:
    ----------------
    - Change the format of short-log to "<target>: <summary>"

    Changes since v2:
    ----------------
    - rename the file from `fit-image` to `fit_image` to successfully export the class functions.
    - adding new sanity checks.
    - add missing dependency.
    - fix a variable reference in a debug log.
    
    Changes since v3:
    ----------------
    - unit-test added
    - class updated to support also properties for U-Boot image

    Changes since v4:
    ----------------
    - remove a wrong patch

    Changes since v5:
    ----------------
    - something went wrong with generation of the patches. regenerate
