This patch adds support for generating a kernel fitImage, which is
a a successor to the uImage format. Unlike uImage, which could only
contain the kernel image itself, the fitImage can contain all kinds
of artifacts, like the kernel image, device tree blobs, initramfs
images, binary firmwares etc. Furthermore, the fitImage supports
different kinds of checksums, not only CRC32 like the uImage did.
Last, but not least, fitImage supports signatures such that either
the whole image or it's parts can be signed and then in turn can
be verified by the bootloader.
So far we only add support for wrapping the kernel image and DTB
into the fitImage. The fitImage uses the sha1 checksum, which is
the default.
