dev-manual, ref-manual: Image format implementation changes
Recently a number of changes have happened on the implementation side of some image formats, and a few have been renamed. The u-boot image signing code is now always available and no longer in a stand-alone file. The vmdk/mdi/qcow2 images have been removed and are now just a conversion type that is applied to wic images.

1296 defines additional image types specifically for the U-Boot bootloader. 1292 <note>
