Host-side tools

Brad,

It's my understanding that host-side tools that cooperate with
bmc-side tools should be in the same repo, hence why the host-side
blobs stuff is in phosphor-ipmi-flash.  However, if I add any
dependencies to the configuration for the BMC-side, those get in the
way of configuring for the host-side.  Would it not make sense to
sometimes have it split?  And if so, I would like to propose creating
two repos, a blobs library host-side, and a flash tool host-side repo,
so those can be neatly split and not have anything in their
configuration file that's really bmc-side specific, like ipmid, or
phosphor-dbus-interface, or something.

Thoughts?

Patrick
