[Skiboot] [RFC 0/3] More FFS capabilities

[Cyril Bur]

Hi,

These patches do the basic work to get libffs to be able to create entire FFS
images. I've also worked on a tool to actually be able to do this.

I would appreciate people taking a look. I consider the first two patches
fairly polished.

I've included the final patch as it is the consumer of the first two. It will
probably get a going over by myself once more but I would still appreciate any
feedback there.

It is also worth noting here that I did consider adding this functionality to
pflash, however, pflash is already a large behemoth of a tool I'm not keen to
make that problem worse.

Thanks in advance,

Cyril
