binman: Support packaging U-Boot for scenarios like OF_BOARD or OF_PRIOR_STAGE
For scenarios like OF_BOARD or OF_PRIOR_STAGE, no device tree blob is provided in the U-Boot build phase hence the binman node information is not available. In order to support such use case, a new Kconfig option BINMAN_STANDALONE_FDT is introduced, to tell the build system that a device tree blob containing binman node is explicitly required when using binman to package U-Boot.

+ This option tells U-Boot build system that a standalone device tree
+ source is explicitly required when using binman to package U-Boot.
+
+ This is not necessary in a common scenario where a device tree source
+ that contains the binman node is provided in the arch/<arch>/dts
+ directory for a specific board. Such device tree sources are built for
+ OF_SEPARATE or OF_EMBED. However for a scenario like the board device
+ tree blob is not provided in the U-Boot build tree, but fed to U-Boot
+ in the runtime, e.g.: in the OF_PRIOR_STAGE case that it is passed by
+ a prior stage bootloader. For such scenario, a standalone device tree
+ blob containing binman node to describe how to package U-Boot should
+ be provided explicitly.
