[PATCH 3/3] tools: binman: fit: add support for OpenSSL engines

[Quentin Schulz <foss+uboot@0leil.net>]

From: Quentin Schulz <quentin.schulz@cherry.de>

This adds support for using an OpenSSL engine for signing a FIT image.
To use it, one should set the fit,sign-engine property at the FIT node
level with the engine to use. This will in turn call mkimage with the -N
option.

The key-name-hint property in the signature node will be used verbatim
as key_id in OpenSSL engine API.

We could somehow still decide to pass some keys_dir to mkimage when
signing with an engine is enabled (mkimage does support that!),
unfortunately binman resolves key paths absolutely. I don't believe an
OpenSSL engine will happen to have the exact same key_id than the path
to the encryption key, so fit,encrypt and fit,sign-engine cannot
cohabit.

The public key (with .crt extension) is still required if it needs to be
embedded in the SPL DTB for example.
